Walking to Nana's
We are blessed to live just across the field from my mom. It is not unusual, when our school work is done, for the children to ask if they can "run down to Nana's." We always make them call to ask but, that is just a formality. I have never known Nana or Poppy to turn down a visit from the kidos. Last week, Joshua made his first trip across the yard with his brother and sisters. It was one of those priceless moments that you just want to freeze in time. I called my mom so she could be watching and Stacy and I stood on the porch watching them, crying and taking a picture, of course. Stacy asked me if I ever thought that we would be watching four of them walk down to Nana's. I replied that I never knew we would be so abundantly blessed.

What better way to renew my blogging efforts than to share my excitement about our youngest daughters birthday.
It is hard to believe that it has been five years since Lily Grace was born. I remember the tears of joy I shed we the doctor handed her to me. I also remember the tears of fear and heartbreak when at our 20 week ultrasound, the doctor told me that my baby most likely would not live. I remember him looking at me and saying that we would take it one day at a time. The doctor told me that if my baby did survive, she would have some severe birth defects and would not live long. I looked at him and asked "she?"
Lily Grace was born just a few months later. She had many more defects that we thought she would have. She spent the first two months of her life in the NICU at Children's Hospital. At four months old she finally had her first open heart procedure. Although, the doctors told us that the procedure could not be done with any degree of success, God blessed our baby and brought her though with flying colors. She continued to amaze all of us, and especially the healthcare professionals evaluating her.
Today, she is a happy, healthy, normal five year old little girl!
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Wow! It has not been even 30 days and here I am actually blogging again. What better way to start off this blog than to announce the arrival of our latest miracle. Joshua Newman Langford was born on Friday, August 22 at 4:00 pm.
At 34 weeks he weighed in at a whopping 3 lbs 9oz. He seemed so tiny to us since his sisters were born at 37 and 38 weeks and were 9 lbs 6oz and 8 lbs 3 oz. The only real comparison we had was our kitten who still out weighs Baby Joshua by a few ounces.
Joshua now weighs 2 lbs 15.6 oz. He will be able to come home when he weighs between 4 and 5 pounds and is eating well on his own.
