Happy First Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday Rachel and Haley! I can't believe a year has gone by! Rachel and Haley have gone through so much the past year, but they are thriving and growing. They have come so far. We are so blessed! They are miracles and we are so happy they are here with us. It has been quite a year! I still remember well the day they were born. It was frightening seeing how early they were born, but it was meant to be. On this day we remember our sweet angels - Ashlyn, Dallin, Kaitlyn and Braden. I know they are cheering Rachel and Haley on. Rachel and Haley are doing well despite their very early arrival a year ago. They are fighters. We love them so very much!

Haley (baby A) born at 7:30pm August 4, 2009

Rachel (baby E) born at 7:31pm August 4, 2009

Cute Birthday Girls



Since their birthday landed on a Wednesday and most of our family could not make it to their party till the weekend, we decided to have their first party this Saturday August 7. We look forward to their first birthday party. More to come on that...

Their journey began a year ago and it continues on... We look forward to many more wonderful birthdays.

  21. I have followed your journey since I first learned of your pregnancy. I shared in your sorrow as you lost 4 of your sweet babies, and your joy at each milestone your two sweet daughters have made. I have said many prayers on behalf of you and your family, and now even though we have never met, and never will meet, I share your joy on the birthday of your children. May the Lord continue to bless you and your sweet little girls. I wanted to wish them a very happy birtday. And to you too!
