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.

March for Babies

Saturday was the March of Dimes walk here in Austin. The weather was great if you like it hot and humid. The overcast skies kept it a little cooler but not much. The walk was very scenic. It started at the Palmer Event Center and then went past the Capital. It was a great workout up and down the hills of downtown Austin. We saw a few families that we knew in the NICU and a few of the NICU staff. Afterward we hung around for a little while and ate with the Best family (Abigail & Porter- their blog is one of our favorites). Then loaded the hot sticky girls into the car and we all came home for showers! I had coated the girls in sun screen which never absorbed in due to the humidity. We had a great time and agreed that this will be a tradition for us.


We made these signs for the stroller.
