Back to school for Rachel and Haley!

Rachel and Haley's first day of 1st grade was August 24, 2015. They love school and were happy to go back as was daddy and I. The girls do so much better (behavior wise) when they go to school. The girls are in separate special education life skills classes, but they go to breakfast and lunch together as well as recess. They both have new teachers who seem really great and each have two other students in their classes. Rachel and Haley will both get therapies from several therapist at school and will be getting the help they need to progress We are much happier with everything at their school this year.

The girls enjoy riding the bus to and from school.

I love your blog. I've watched it since the girls were born. You are doing a super good job as parents. Eternal families are wonderful, and the future blessings will be great.

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.
