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.

Lonestar Christmas at the Gaylord Texan

Attempt # 5 to get everyone to smile






Just a glimpse at all the decor in the atrium

We recently met Nanna and Granddaddy and the rest of Jen's family in Dallas for a little winter get away. We stayed at the fabulous Gaylord Texan. It was beautifully decorated to the hilt for Christmas. This was the girls first hotel stay ever and they did great! Our little adventure also included a ride on the Polar Express with our golden tickets to see Santa. The train ride was great for the first hour but the last 30minutes prove to test Kelby and Mallory's coping skills. Did not blame them a bit. Stuffed into extra layers to stay warm, loud music over old speakers and the rocking of the train almost did Mom in too! We had a great time playing with Conner, Jackson and Harrison. It was a perfect weekend to get everyone in the holiday spirit! If you are ever in the Grapevine area you must at least take a looksy at the Gaylord. Merry Christmas Ya'll!~


Kelby is DONE with picture taking. Enough with the photo ops!
