I just wanted to post this video of Kamryn and Taylor taken on my birthday. They are doing well and eating like horses, getting cuter by the day. We're still trying to figure out how to get them on a schedule. As I said before, for some reason they just don't understand schedules. What's funny is we try to feed them every 4 hours, which is what they did in the hospital. Kamryn doesn't like to wait that long. She has been going 2-3 hours and eating her full feed nearly each time. She's trying to catch up with sis. I think Kerri may begin having a hard time keeping up if they keep going like they are. Kerri has been working on a scrapbook of their lives up to this point. It brings tears of joy and relief to our eyes seeing just how fortunate they and we are. It blows our minds to think about how much we are blessed that not one, but both of them pulled through all the little problems and sicknesses and just challenges of being preemies without having any kind of surgeries or disabilities or death. It is completely evident that our God has heard the prayers of His saints who have interceded for His baby girls. I also wanted to post this poem that was on a card someone gave us. It has hints of scripture in it, but is completely scriptural- if that makes sense.
"I have formed this little child you hold within your heart. My mercy and My goodness have been there from the start. The face, the hands, the smile-I shaped all that you see. Take this gift I've given you and raise this child for Me." -Hicks
This is our desire. P.S.- Keep a friend that we made at the Ronald McDonald House named Rachel in your prayers. We were just informed that her baby, Layla, who was born at 23 or 24 weeks, died suddenly over the weekend. As we have said before, things can really go south quickly with these little ones. On a better note, you may remember a little one named Nowell that has been in Tupelo, MS. I asked everyone to pray for her a couple of months ago, as her parents were told she probably wouldn't make it. Well, she is now at home. Praise the Lord for that miracle as well!

Kerri & Ted,
I can't even speak! How precious these wonderful little gifts are! I love when Kamryn "grabs" Taylor's face. So, so sweet. They already love each other! They really are so beautiful & such huge, little miracles! What a testament to God's love!
Love,
Emily

Sweet, sweet, sweet..... you guys really are so lucky that the girl didnt have any surgery or anything... just patience and prayers....
glad you are doing so well!
How cute! I'm thrilled to see your updates about how well the girls are doing. What a testimony of how good God is! Be careful on your way back to MS.
WOW! I can't believe that it is already time for you to go to MS! Please keep sending those updates - we will miss seeing you. Praise the Lord for His work and watchcare over Taylor's and Kamryn's lives. His Name has definitely been glorified - high and lifted up! Praise Him for what He has done and what He will do through all four of you! Blessings,
Frank and Chita
I just LOVED this video. I never have cared for having MY nose licked. . . but maybe that's just a personal thing. :)
Your girls are just beautiful. We continue to pray for them -- and for all of you. You MUST stay tired. I can only imagine what it's like to have two of them that little!
Blessings,
Garrick
