Parks and trains

Thomas found a park that is geared toward children with disabilities in west Houston. We have a park similar to this one near our home and we have visited it a couple of times, but we enjoy checking out other "new" parks. My girls love parks and enjoy swinging, climbing and sliding down the slides. I am so thankful there are parks like this available for children.
This park in west houston had a "train" theme. On our way home from the park we found a train just sitting quietly on the tracks. I took some pictures of it as well as my girls next to it. My dad loves trains and I know he will like these pictures.

Amanda, that park is really nice. It is great for children without disabilities too. Small children (specially infants) have a great time there and the parents can be "at peace" because of all the safety issues. I'm glad you and Thomas brought the girls over here, and I hope you come back often!

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.
