Thank Goodness for Mom

Mom has finally arrived. Today was my first full day with Mom at my side to help me. I am so grateful for her being here. I love and appreciate her more than she will ever know. She has been so patient with me, and has helped me so much. Thomas and I will do our best to not run her off, by over working her to death.

Oh, I'm sure she's loving this! Six grandbabies, all at once?? That's a grandma's dream! :)

Hi, I have been following you and your husband in the news and finally found your website. I am so excited for you. I do not live very far from you so I feel as if we are neighbors.

I have 2 grandchildren and 2 more in Jan. I am a twin but was never given the blessing of multiples. God be with you, Sharon Sebesta

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
