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

I Love You Stinky Face!

When John was in the NICU, I read to him EVERY day and EVERY night......even on Saturday night date night, Grams or Grammy would go down to the NICU after shift change and read him a few stories, say his prayers, and tuck him into his isolette:)

My favorite book on his little bookshelf was, I Love You Stinky Face (if you haven't read it before...it's a MUST read.) So, when I ran across a skunk costume, I HAD to buy it:)

Here is a sneak peak of our very own Stinky Face! The cutest skunk I've ever seen!!!

That is the most beautiful "Stinky Face" I have ever seen....back then would you ever imagine John wearing this costume, smiling and getting around.
We are so blessed!

Oh my gosh Kellar is going to be a skunk too...I was planning on sending you all a card w/his pic on it..How funny...I had my eye on it last year but since we were on house arrest we waited and ordered it from Tom Arma a few months aga..To bad we aren't closer we could take our little stinkers trick or treating...

Gorgeous costume (MUCH better than a Pirate costume) and I'm going to go out and order the book right now!

John is 23 pounds? That sounds great to me. Kaitlyn is older and finally just hit 23 pounds. I don't have your email address ( you asked me to email you)

Send me an email and I'll reply with K's BD diet.
