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.

Giggle Monsters

Our girls are ticklish gigging monsters. They love, in fact crave is a better way of describing their passion for being tickled! As their proud parents we love hearing their laughter. They even tackle each other for a quick tickle fest!

Another sure fire way to start the giggles is a game of "Where go?". The idea that you magically can't find your hand, toes, juice cup, snack trap........ well you get the point. Suddenly it reappears from your sleeve, pants, blanket or hand and you guessed it - loads of giggles! While waiting to get Mallory's blood drawn, a young couple came in that had just found out they were expecting. Mallory was hamming it up with the Dad-to-be. Then another mother came in with her child and proceeded to loudly teach her child the ABC's, as all of us quietly watched. Right as they called our name to go back, Mallory turned to the Dad-to-be, held up her sleeve and said "Where arm go?". He laughed and said "where is your arm?" Mallory giggled back "Here it is!" He cracked up laughing and she blew him a kiss and said bye bye! It was almost as if she was saying "Hey, I may not know my ABC's, but I can do magic!"
