i've been thinking a lot about miracles lately. i think it's easy to think you've never had a true miracle occur in your life, and sometimes i feel the same way too, but lately i can't help but think of crew and kade as my miracles. i remember when we felt like we should have another baby after brody. our prompting and directions we received were really specific and we followed them, but were so surprised to learn that we were expecting twins (seriously, twins!) we didn't know how we'd do it, and how we'd do it while justin was still in school. but our miracles had already started, the twins were healthy and looked great in every ultrasound, the preterm labor in the 31st week was able to reversed and the medication kept those boys right where they should be. we made it to 36 weeks and had two perfectly healthy babies that never needed the nicu and were able to come right home with us. i'm amazed how smoothly everything was just to simply have those guys arrive healthy! we've learned that we had the twins while justin was in school because we had family to help, we could not have done it alone! with grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins we made it through the first year, and justin through school. with help we afforded all the diapers, formula (thank you wic!) and clothes we needed. i look back and realize that i've been lucky enough to have two miracles and have been able to watch these two guys grow together which has been incredible, i love watching them develop their special friendship and concern for one another. i feel amazed and blessed to have crew and kade and know they're our miracles. we love these two!!
