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

Take me out to the ball game....



John's already to go to the ball game....if only his mom would let him out of the house! Jamie is a die hard D-back's fan. John's room is filled with autographed balls and bats from just about every D-back player. After hearing John's story, Luis Gonzalez personally signed one of his own bats: "John, You are the real STAR! All my best. Your friend, Luis Gonzalez." Thanks Brian!

At Speech Therapy on Friday John's therapist made a smacking sound with her lips and John copied it. She also stuck out her tongue and he copied her. So, I have been sticking my tongue out at him and he does it!!!!!! Call it coincidence...I don't care, it makes us feel good:):):) To all you full term moms, this may not seem like a big deal but to us preemie moms, it HUGE.
