About Me

On Saturday, January 16, at 2:00 PM, we had our lives forever changed when Asher and Samuel, our long prayed for and long-awaited twins, arrived at 24 weeks and 6 days gestation. The boys weighed less than 2 lbs and spent over 4 months in the hospital before coming home. Our blog began as a way to chronicle the boys birth and subsequent hospital stay, but now we hope to simply capture our journey as a family. As we travel through the adventure of each day, tackling obstacles left by prematurity, we have discovered that we can't go over, we can't go under, but we must go through those scary places... We chose to face these challenges head on as a family. We rely on the strength granted to us by our Lord to help us along our way.

Going Bananas!




Sam putting blocks into his cup all by himself!





Fighting over the silver bowl... with Sam wearing his punk rock glove (actually socks in attempt to save what's left of his skin from all the thumbsucking)



Asher ate some banana...not mashed banana, not pureed banana, not blenderized banana, but a real piece of banana. Drum roll please.....he did not gag, choke, strangle to death, or throw up. He actually ate quite a few pieces for his Daddy. Since then, he has tried green beans, eggs, and a little french toast. Asher is still a little wary, but once he gets a bite, he opens his mouth for more. No steaks in our near future, but progress nonetheless!
