This Wonderful Thing Called Life: My Little Jordan

My Little Jordan

We got to spend some time with out little nephew Jordan, as well as his parents and new little sister. Chris came down and spoke to our adults for VBS and we went to the Children's Museum of Memphis before mom, dad, and CJ went back to McMinnville. Jordan and I had a swim party, went to the zoo again, and ate doughnuts for breakfast before I had to take him back to his real home. Bobby and I just adore little Jordan, we think of him and love him as our own and it kills us not getting to see him on a daily basis. My biggest "regret" about leaving McMinnville is not getting to be there for him and not getting to know his little sister. We really miss Chris and Danyelle as well, Bobby and I both have discussed how different it has been without them right there. But, I guess that is just a part of moving and growing - blah, blah, blah :) Here are some pics of our little nephew, neice, and friends.

We are so proud to see the good work you two are doing! Your youth group looks fantastic.
Our gospel meeting is going on this week and it has been very succesful.
Keep in touch!

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
