Brianna & Tammy Visit

Brianna and Tammy came to visit this afternoon. I'm not sure who was happier to see the other, the nurses or the kids!

That's Prickly

The kiddos got some shots today to keep the RSV away. They all took it pretty well. We got their weights measured too. Josh at 7"10 and Ella at 7'1" both gained about a pound in just two weeks, and Abby at 5'4" gained two-thirds of a pound!

Goodbye Grandpa & Grammy

Grandpa David's three week stay with us is over. He & Grammy Evonne said goodbye so they could get back to Iowa. I don't think the kids were happy to see them leave...






Grandpa Otis & Grandma Phyllis can still visit a couple of times a week to do some holding and cuddling.

Three Months Old!

The babies are three months old today and having a great time!

Bonding Time

Our kids are a lot of work, but they are also a lot of fun. We're glad that we are able to enjoy them here at home. It looks like they get along well together so far. What a bunch!

Briann & Dan Visit

Brianna came to visit us tonight. It was good to see her again. It was fun catching up and watching her with the kids. I can tell she misses them. She brought along her fiance Dan. He's a friendly fellow, and he finally got to see the little ones Brianna talked about all the time she looked after them. He even held Abby for awhile. We hope they can come back soon!

Prayer Request

My heart is heavy for some friends of ours from the NICU. They are going thru deep waters. Because of privacy, we can't include any details but we ask you to lift them up in prayer.

What's Up Doc?

The kids had a doctor's appointment today. They are all doing pretty well overall, healthy with a few minor issues like reflux. Elizabeth is growing fast and is already 6'2". She's putting it on fast, catching up to Joshua who is 6'10". Abigail is on a slower pace at 4'10". They are doing fine for their age considering today is their due date, and they were born almost three months early. We'll keep watching those growth charts, hoping they will continue closing the gap on those other full-term babies. (Sorry, Dr. Thomas for Ella's little accident :)

Thank You City

We spent a bit of time writing Thank You notes tonight. We have such a long list, we don't think we'll ever get done! It is amazing to think that not only family & friends have sent stuff for the kids, but even people we have never met have done the same. What a wonderful God we all serve.

Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle Kevin

Guess who came to see us this weekend? Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle Kevin from St. Louis!

What a Week!

This has been our first week with all three kids home. They've certainly kept us busy. We're trying to keep a four hour routine going of changing, feeding, and sleeping. We have to fit in time to get bottles ready and clean up a bunch of stuff. I've been home full-time, and Christine has been working. It's been tough trying to get rest, but we take turns getting up at night when we can, and we've had lots of help already from friends and family. Christine's Dad has been here all week, and my parents have come a few days also.



Besides the routine stuff, we've been able to have some fun.
