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.

Bye, bye cribs.....

So the time has finally come to say good bye to cribs and hello to big girl beds. It was a bittersweet day as Jeremy and I stood and thought about all of the sweet memories of them in their cribs. From the first few nights they slept in their cribs, the first time the started standing up (picture to come) and now look at them!

Funny how small the beds look compared to two years ago. We took pictures of the last time in their beds and the last time of them together in each bed. It had been a busy day already without naps so as we began to take pictures the girls panicked that it was bed time!

Disassembled cribs ........


A bare empty room. Babies will no longer sleep in this room. It is soon to be occupied by little girls. Little girls that can get in and out of bed on their own, open doors, feed themselves, and dress themselves. Little girls that can now request songs, shows, food, toys and activities. Little girls that no longer need to be carried everywhere, but can walk and even run where ever they want to go. TONS and TONS of fun times lie ahead. But our hearts were heavy with the fact that babyhood was over!! Very thankful for pictures, because I do not feel that I enjoyed it enough. If I could do it over again, I hope that I would soak up every little moment!
