Mallory and Kelby

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.

Father's Day

We had lunch in the park and attempted to feed the ducks...
but they weren't really interested.

Chocolate Chip Cookies... YUM!

She looks like such a big girl in this picture.

Daddy and his girls....

The ducks.

Feeding the ducks?

It was a really hot day - so the girls were really hot and tired when we left the park.

After we put the girls to bed, we had a friend watch them and we went out for dinner and a night at the driving range... it was a great day!

Charlie Bear and Heidi

So, we have decided to try to have some puppies - so Heidi had a friend over for a few days. :)

Meet Charlie Bear - One of the girls nurses from the NICU let us 'borrow' him for a few days - Thanks Valerie

The happy couple...

A few videos from this weekend...

Thanks Nana and Granddaddy for the new Sandbox - We LOVE it!

Daddy and Granddaddy built the girls a new sandbox... And Nana made the roof canopy. We LOVE it!

Memorial Day Weekend

Nana and Granddaddy came down for Memorial Day weekend and we had a great time! We got some backyard projects done and we had a great big get together with friends. We were planning on having it in the back yard, but a storm blew through right when it was starting, so we had to move inside. It was still a great party though.

Our weekend project - The Sandbox (Thanks Nana and Granddaddy - We LOVE it!)

The Party set-up before the wind came through...

Gran and Granddad Visit (5/15-5/17)

Gran and Granddad came down for a visit for the weekend. We had a great time, but the fun events got rained out. So, we didn't get many pictures.

We went down to San Marcos for a Swing Music Festival and were going to head to Gruene from there, but the rain came and cancelled all of our plans.

We ended up having to play inside all afternoon. This was the only picture we got with Gran.. (sorry Gran)

Mother's Day

Our attempts at getting a good photo like we got last year for Mother's Day...

So... we gave up and went inside to play ball.

"Cooling Off" Saturday afternoon

We got hot and tired at the walk, so we spent Saturday afternoon in the backyard playing in the water.

Kelby carried one of her shoes around all afternoon.

And found the one muddy spot in the backyard...

Mallory chose to spend most of the afternoon in the shade of the back porch.

Kelby after she found the mud...

Buddies...
