The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

Sunday Play Day

It was nice outside this afternoon, so we took the girls for a walk around the block in their wagon, then we played in the backyard for a while.















Holiday Happenings

We went down to Zilker Park on Saturday night for what used to be the "Trail of Lights"... not much of a "trail" this year... it was on a much smaller scale this year, but it was still fun for the girls... they loved the lights.

Mallory's Glasses

We'll post some more pics later, but here's one of Mallory in her new glasses. She wasn't sure about them at first, but she's warming up to the idea.

More November Updates...

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Lubbock, visiting both sides of the family.

Some pics from Thanksgiving Day with Gran and Granddad at Aunt Debbie's house.

It was a nice day, so we went outside for the afternoon... the girls had fun playing in the back of Granddad's truck...











We spent the weekend with Nana and Granddaddy!

The girls loved playing in the truck with Nana! Here they are waving bye-bye... there were lots of waves...




The most fun part was "falling out"... they would take turns driving and they would throw themselves out onto the carpet and they thought it was the funniest thing...






Kelby with her Christmas "necklace"




We tried to get a good Christmas picture, but the girls weren't really in the mood for pictures.





Happy 2nd Birthday! 11/16/09

We had a "Double Bubble" party for the girls...

Kelby's Glasses

It's been so long since we posted anything. We'll post a lot of updates from November later, but here's a few pics of Kelby in her new glasses. Mallory will get hers next week. :)

Weekend Fun

We didn't do much this weekend but hang out at the house and play. It was a perfect fall weekend. Here are a few random pictures... and we've realized why we're not photographers.





Kelby telling Mallory to 'sit' for the picture.




Rockin' on the porch...

Sweet Berry Farms '09

We went out to Sweet Berry Farms this afternoon. It was such a nice day to be outside, our good friend Salli and her son Hunter went with us. We are thinking about having the girls' birthday party out there this year so we went to scope it out.




Kelby loved the goats...




And they loved her popcorn...




Our best attempt at a family photo on the hayride.




Strolling through the flower fields.




Little man Hunter.

Family shot... +1

The weather was so nice, it didn't get above the 70's (though it did start to feel a little warm before we left) so we didn't think to break out the sunscreen... so we all got a little red.
