Cece and Daddy spending bonding time together while Mommy
Visits Holtie in the NICU (only 1 week for observation) |
We are so incredibly in love!! Cece is amazing with him, as I knew she would be! Holtie is strong and surprises us everyday as he grows and learns new skills...he's 3 months and trailing right behind his slightly older and adorable cousin !!! I cry almost everyday (happy tears) just at the shear miracle each of their lives are and that in less than 24 months!!! Aaron and I have a housefull (small house) of little munchkins!! Okay so there are only two of them..!!!! But, a newborn and a spunky, emotionally immature, yet intellectually sophisticated 4 year old with a taste for "all things grown up style"...makes our world rather adventurous!!! Next post will have more in depth discussion on what it means to be mom to my 'special needs' kiddos!!!! ps...sorry it's so scattered and so late, but I am learning how to be supermom and it takes all of my scattered brain to focus on this one task!!! I am feeling so incredibly blessed to have such beautiful spirits in our family. How much can one woman take.."cry cry...sniff sniff"!! I am so grateful that Heavenly Father trusts me with these little angels!!! oh and Holtie rolled over 3 times since Thursday on his 3 month birthday...AND smiles and talks to us and makes us feel like the best parent's ever!!! sniff sniff!! OH yes!! I almost forgot....running is taking on a new look...it's called running in place or AKA on a treadmill. It's saved my life and my latest long run was a 10 miler. Now onto 12 next weekend, with 6 or 7 during the week. Gotta pick up the pace to be ready for the Tahoe Rim Endurance 50k in July. Fingers and toes crossed that the babies agree!!!
