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

Funny Boy

This kid cracks me up. He has the greatest sense of humor.....which he got from his Papa I'm sure!


I wanted to document the funny/cute things he says so I never forget...

Everything is, "Momma, all by myself!"

He never wants to get out of the bath and last week he said, "Play a little more Momma? Eighty five more minutes pease."

This morning he saw something funny on TV and said, "Oh my goodness! That is so silly."

I told him that Auntie Brenda is up with God now (and pointed up.) He then replied, "Auntie Brenda's on the ceiling!"

He says his bedtime prayers all by himself...it's so cute. They typically go something like this..."Thank you God for my Dada, for my Momma, for my Hopa, for my TV and thank you God, Amen."

When he's going to say something funny, he'll start cracking up before he even gets it out of his mouth.

He is just too much!!!!!!!

Friday Fun Day

We had a sleepover with cousin Ashley last Friday.

First up was swimming...

The pool was freezing but that didn't stop Ash. I told John he could put his feet in but it didn't take long for him to jump in too. I didn't think he'd actually go in......but whatever Ashley does John wants to do.

Hope watched from the sidelines!

Next up was PJ's and Pizza!


And then Ashley gave John some flowers to smell.....he got a little to close. The yellow all over his face is pollen....which Ashley tried to rub off:)


The pollen didn't want to come off so we headed to March for Babies the next morning with a yellow face!!!!
