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

Breaking News!

Big news here.............John signed his FIRST word today!!!!! Hooray for John!!!

Grams was babysitting so Mommy could run errands all day......so she (and Kelly his ST) witnessed this HUGE milestone. Anyhow, they were at Speech this morning and after he was finished eating he leaned forward, grabbed Grams hands, and signed...........ALL DONE!!!!!

We have been working on this sign for awhile now and I couldn't be more excited or proud of him today. You go John.......keep proving all those doctors wrong:)

I am also very excited because Shannon had her baby today (on her due date)..........AND, it's a little GIRL!!!!

John is not only gorgeous but smart! I love the pictures in the previous post and we're thrilled to hear about the signing; we're working on 'more' with Hallie, but in her case, 'all done' is probably a better choice.

BIg hugs to our gorgeous little guy.
