I've decided to begin this blog to keep in better touch with all of my family and friends. Taking care of our little monkeys keeps me so busy..time is passing more quickly than I ever could have imagined! It is also a great way to let everyone see how big the babies are getting...and to let those people see how wonderfully their prayers have worked!
Here is a photo of the boys last January 1st...I can't believe how quickly this year has past....It's difficult for me to see my baby boys growing up and taking baby steps each day towards their independence. But every day they teach me something new. As I am sort through their baby clothes, I hold them close to my heart. Time is passing too quickly. From my precious little ones in the NICU, small and fragile..to the toddlers they are today..thriving and healthy, I thank God for sending them to me everyday..and most days...I thank Him a few times! xo xo
Alexander and Evan would like to wish all of their friends a family a very happy New Year, filled with lots of love, laughter, health, happiness, and time to spend with those who mean the most to you. As always, you're always in all of our thoughts and prayers.......xo xo P.S. Hopefully.....your year will go much easier than this photo shoot!!!
The Stabinski cousins were reunited again for Christmas. The boys weren't too sure about Lilly at first, but warmed up to her quickly. Mommy is so happy that they have a cousin to grow up with! Hopefully she won't grow (up) as quickly as the boys are!! xo
The boys were nice enough to set aside their usually busy schedule to help Daddy and I decorate our Christmas tree....It was so much fun to watch how excited they got as things progressed. Each morning they run out of their nursery, straight to the tree to admire it.... Mommy can't even imagine her life without her little angel boys.......xo xo
I thought the boys might be afraid of Santa this year.....but that didn't happen. They were very excited about the book he was about to give them which I think made for a beautiful photo.....xo
We were honored to be invited back to Geisinger's NICU as "graduates" for National Premature Baby Day. The president of the March of Dimes was there which was a big deal. What was very exciting was the fact that ''our preemies'' were part of a campaign to promote all of the good that their NICU is doing. We were also interviewed by 2 local newspapers and are happy to have those now for the boys to see years from now. Channel 16 news interviewed us and we were able to share our story that way as well. A few people at the Steamtown Mall recognized us a few days later!! Still, the best part of all was being able to bring the boys back again this year to thank all of the physicians who gave us our babies back..... that is as best as you can thank someone for saving your childs' life......Again a mix of pictures from this year and last.....xo
I'm being told that I need to update this blog.....I don't know where the time has gone since October! Here are the babies last year...and then this year.....And with their Cousin Lilly....We all had so much to be thankful for this year....and all of our family and friends were included in our prayers and thanks. xo
