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.

Dedication

On Sunday we had the girls dedicated at church. Our church did a fantastic job of making it the special moment that it is. We received certificates, frames and pictures of the event. Our family pastor(well we have claimed him ours) Doug James prayed over the girls and read the scriptures that went with their names. He means so much to Jeremy and I as he has been there for us so much in the last year. During the service we sang Everlasting God, which is the song that we sung at Evan's memorial and reminds us of our little angel. (ref: Mom's thoughts - April Post)


Mallory
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
Kelby
Mathew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.

Both families came in to town for the dedication. All in all it was a great weekend. We really missed Aunt Jill and her family. Baby Brody was born two weeks ago so he couldn't really travel just yet.

Here are a few pictures from Sunday- more to come soon.
