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.

Austin Fair and Rodeo

We had a great time at the Austin Fair! This will definitely be an annual thing.



The girls loved the animals in the petting zoo!













HUGE Longhorn. When he stood up, at his shoulders he was a foot taller than the lady standing by him.

New carseats - Thanks Nana and Granddaddy!

We can't believe the girls are big enough to have front facing carseats. I guess they can't either... they were a little skeptical at first...






But once we started moving they realized this wasn't going to be so bad...





hmmmm.... I wonder why we haven't been sitting like this before now.



I like it!

Leaving the NICU - one of our favorite nurses, Sara, was there to discharge the girls.
