On September 20, there will be a reunion of the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital NICU patients and their families. It is an annual event. The Hoff Family is excited to have a chance to visit with the wonderful staff at Stanford and show them how the twins have grown. A great event to look forward to.

On our walking field trip, Clara cried all the way there and Olivia cried all the way home. Oscar is dog tired. We did get to go in the house and see the progress being made. September 24Th is moving day, hopefully.

Katie goes back to work tomorrow. Please keep everyone in your prayers, it is going to be difficult for everyone.
