This. Picnic. Was. Magical.
I was so lucky to be invited to face paint the special group of kiddos! Their patience with me was next level—even I can’t sit still to paint.
To the parents who raised incredibly resilient and spectacular humans, thank you for touching my heart in the best way possible.
“As we wrap up NICU Awareness Month, we're reflecting on the resilience and connections that make our NICU community so special. Thank you to the incredible families who joined us for this year's NICU Reunion, and to all those who support NICU families and help raise awareness from near and far throughout the year. This celebration also wouldn't have been possible without the dedicated staff and volunteers who brought it to life. From face painting and balloon animals to live music, tractor rides and more, it was a beautiful day filled with laughter, memories, and meaningful moments. We're grateful to celebrate this remarkable community with you.” -Mayo Clinic Children’s Facebook
And a special thank you to the Mayo Clinic Children’s Photographer, Emily Lanser, for capturing a few of these sweet moments!
