Week 35

I know I promised pictures but we decided to let them gain a little momentum in their health before we published any. Here are the first ones of many. They are doing really well. They have moved out of the NICU and into "Continuing Care" which is in the same area but closer to the exit. Mason has graduated from an incubator to an open crib while Devin is still pushing toward that goal. They both are very stable and we see them daily. You can see the feeding tubes in their noses and that is being used along with bottles until they are strong enough to use a bottle alone - that's a goal to going home. Jeanne and I still look at them and ask, "Are these really ours" and I still think what a miracle. Jeanne and I are doing well, she is slowly working on the Thank You cards for the gifts, cards, prayers and well wishes so many people have sent us. Sincerely, thank you all. Stay tuned, more is coming and hopefully sooner than later.

The two pictures: Mason has his eyes open and giving his silent shout out to the world while Devin is enjoying a loving hold from Grandma Pepe.
