Welcome

THIS IS THE REAL LIFE DOCUMENTARY OF....

Faith and Fear...

Trust and Doubt...

Ups and Downs...

A God that still performs miracles...

A 1-pound baby girl and 3-pound baby boy...

This is our story; this is our life.

**************************************

In the race of life, God our heavenly Father has come alongside us through the person of the Holy Spirit. And

~when we think we can't go one more step,

~when the race becomes painful beyond endurance,

~when our hearts feel heavy,

~when our minds become dull,

~when our spirits are burned out,

we have the comforter who comes alongside us, puts His everlasting arms around us, and gently walks with us.

Finally!

Big weekend...HUGE...fantastic all the way around. When I showed up to the hospital on late Saturday afternoon, I was greeted with this image of Kaylan and Dylan...














Notice anything about this photo? I'll give you three...

1) Kaylan is OFF C-PAP and on the Nasal Canula!
2) She's wearing clothes!
3) She's in an open crib...WITH DYLAN!

Hooray! Hooray! and Hooray again!!! I was overwhelmed with excitement as was Landon. We've been giddy all weekend celebrating this HUGE milestone for her. She's like a new baby after getting off CPAP. She's much more calm and I think she's enjoying getting reaquainted with Dylan. We took so many pictures this weekend it's hard for me to know which ones to put here! Nothing, and I  mean, NOTHING (not even an air conditioner going out in our house when it's 110 degrees) was going to rain on this parade we were having with the babies! Side note: And yes...our air conditioner was out for about 24 hours...a circuit was blown or something like that...it doesn't really matter what it was. What matters is that it is back on and I can stand to be back in our house again. Thank God for Landon's brother and wife taking us in for the night so we could have some A/C!

Okay, back on track here...so Kaylan and Dylan will be co-bedding until Dylan goes home. It's so neat to get to see them together. Clearly, she's still a lot smaller but she's showing everyone that she's ready to be treated like brother. We expect to start bottle feeds with her some time this week. We hope you will rejoice in this victory with us. Thank you for continued prayers and support! Enjoy some weekend snippets below :)
