these children sparkle...

There once was a little boy and a little girl who came into this world the hard way. Every mother dreams of her newborn snuggled tightly against her chest, soaking in love. These children spent weeks not even able to be touched...growing quietly in their incubators, while their mothers faced fears they wouldn't wish on their worst enemies. Yet, here they are. Our children, who sparkle.
Britch-Box, I could never tell you in words how much I love you, how much your love has changed my life and your mommy's life. You have given me hope.
KJ, every single day of your life I am grateful for every breath you take. You beat the odds. All of them. Thank you for fighting, for staying strong, even when I couldn't sometimes.

We didn't know that you would be best-friends, our sparkling children just barely a year apart. Yet you love each other with a kind of love I imagine comes only from heaven...perhaps you've seen a glimpse we can only dream of.


twins?


oh my brady...how much you are loved.


I was lucky beyond belief to catch these moments forever...KJ snuggling with her favorite blankie, and Brady with his special SpongeBob pillow (made by his uber creative mom).


laugh. love. dream.


Our wish for you...is that this life becomes all that you want it to...
Your dreams stay BIG, your worries stay small


these are the moments that matter.

Brady is one of the sweetest little guys and KJ is getting so old. . . turning into a little lady. CUTE!

I love you so much and I love our sparkling children more than I could have ever imagined. I am so proud of them and of us. We did something right, darling CoCo.
