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

Long John!

Seriously, John is growing like a weed (wow, I find myself sounding more and more like my mom everyday!) He is now 33 inches tall and a little over 25 pounds (I think.)
His development has really taking off. He can sign...please, more, mom, dad, all done, fish, and dog...his voice is getting louder and louder too. All of his therapists seem to think that the day he starts talking, he'll say complete sentences...tee hee!!! Nothing can slow this little boy down!

Here's John with his new favorite toy!

Look how tall he is...can you say, future Phoenix Suns player?


And when he gets bored with those buttons....he'll just side step on over to the computer and pound away!!!

There is no such word as "can't" in this child's future. He's a God given inspiration for all of us wrapped in the biggest bundle of love!

Lots of love,
Grams and Grandpa

Check out Dane's blog...you guys made it into one of our pictures! I started cracking up, when I noticed it! It was great to meet you and John...what a handsome boy! We will have to get together some time, and remember to let me know if you need any volunteers for the support group!
