Please pray for our family friend. Jordan-was in a car accident and then when being flown by helicopter to the hospital-was in a helicopter accident. She was the only survivor in the helicopter crash. Please pray for her and her family. Please pray for the families of the other victims. She has a long road to recovery. Please pray that she finds peace in our Lord-Jesus Christ. Please pray for her physical healing but pray also for her emotional healing.

Ryan starts Kindergarten tomorrow

Too excited to sleep.

The boys meet Bob and Larry

Last weekend, the local Family Christian Bookstore had a grand opening and Bob and Larry were there so of course, I took plenty of pics.

Larry and Larry Boy are Ryan's favorite

The boys like both characters.

We couldn't leave without getting 'the t-shirt.'

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
