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

Sibling Love

My kids fight just like any siblings do but man do they ADORE each other.  They truly enjoy being with each other.

Today I told Hope she couldn't do something and John said, "Mommy, stop being so mean to Hopie!"

I hope they always remain this close.  It sure makes my heart happy.

Callie Madeline


Hopie FINALLY got her first cabbage patch doll, Callie Madeline!!!

My girl is in love with her new baby and thinks it's pretty neat that she was born two days after her.  

Last weekend Daddy drug out all of my old cabbage patch dolls from the attic.  So now she has a total of six.  However, I found the two boy ones in John's room:)  She said she only likes the girls because girls rule!
