This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

Christmas Eve!

Thank you Grammy and Papa for a wonderful dinner and ALL of the great gifts........for all of us. And, an extra BIG thank you for cooking 2 dinners......one Christmas Eve for us and one Christmas Day for the rest of the family! John has 8 cousins on this side of the family and unfortunately he can't be around them........RSV season:( So, Grammy and Papa made Christmas Eve John's night!!!

My parents were their also! John's feeding pump finished right before we sat down to dinner........and of course he wouldn't sleep. It was Christmas Eve.......he was just too excited:) Anyhow, I handed him off to my mom to hold at the dinner table. We had only sat down for a second when the vomiting began. Now, I NEVER think it's funny when he vomits but this time it was hilarious......it went ALL over my mom's face, down her shirt, and I think a little went into her mouth. I know it's groose but when vomit is part of your daily routine......this one gave us a good chuckle! Don't worry, Gram's thought it was funny too.


My handsome little man!


Chris and Dani........he's talking to you!


Christmas is tiring.....for everyone!


Grandpa is so funny!
