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

John News!

Thursday morning John and I went to his last Synagis appointment. We were actually glad that he was able to get an April dose because I know there are still a lot of nasty bugs out there. Unfortunately, there was only one nurse working.........usually we get 2 nurses and they stick him at the same time. Anyhow, he did fairly well (better than Mommy of course) considering the nurse was the slowest shot giver (nice word hugh?) in the world! On a brighter note, John and I were jamming out to The Veggie Tales on the way to the hospital and the song, If You're Happy And You Know It, came on............AND, John clapped right along with the song! Call it coincidence but, I say the kid is a genius! Every milestone is a true miracle!!!!!!

John has quite the schedule these days..........
Monday: PT ( 2x a week starting next month)
Tuesday: ST
Thursday: PT
Friday: OT and ST

Wow.....I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when we add soccer and t-ball practice into the mix:) Thank goodness I don't have to work full time.......wait a minute being a Mommy IS full time.....and then some overtime!!!!

So, Wednesdays are our free days...........and we can't wait to set up some play dates!!!!



It's the simple things in life that make John smile!


Who needs toys when you've got a phone?

Ouchie:(
