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.

Weekend wrap up

Well we've completed our first week home with our sweet Dylan. Although completely exhausted, I couldn't be happier to have him home. We just can't WAIT to get Kaylan home with him. Landon and I went to the hospital tonight to see her. She took about half the bottle (which is good for her right now). They are going to back off on the amount of bottle attempts they are giving her per day, for now. Please continue to pray for this all to "click" with her so she can have her feeding tube removed. On a really exciting note - she's 4 lbs 3 oz!! YAY! I can't tell you what a mountain it seemed like a couple of months ago that FOUR pounds would be....felt like we would NEVER get there.

I had another AWESOME baby shower today with all my sweet, precious girlfriends. I am abundantly blessed with the generosity of others. Our sweet babies are so loved and it touches our heart to see how people care for them.

Dylan has another weight check appointment in the morning. We're excited to see how he has grown since being home! He should be well over 7 pounds now. We're still getting into the groove with him - apparently he has his days and nights mixed up. He sleeps GREAT during the day, but at night...well, you know how that goes. And, he's spitting up quite a bit now and we think he's having some tummy aches. :-(  Everything is just trial and error right now...we're just praying for comfort for him.

Landon is going back to work on Wed. It's been so awesome having him home so we can work with Dylan as a team. I'm going to miss all of his help during the day but I know he'll be anxious to see Dylan in the evenings. We'll be managing a new routine of trying to see Kaylan at night. We're so thankful for willing friends and family who will watch Dylan for a couple of hours each night.

Ready to start another week....
