Through many trials and lots of tears there has been tons of triumph. Though many friends and family relationships have suffered or been lost from the extremely early beginning of our parenting journey with our micro preemie twins, William Arthur and Theodore Adam we are thankful to those of you who have stood by us through the hardship and are still here to share in our joys! For those of you who stood by us during tragedy and through loss of loved ones...who were still here for the blessing of our third bubbly baby boy, Jaxon Ryan...even still were there to show love and support for our unexpected gift and arrival of our amazing girl, Anabelle Lillian...you truly mean the world to us!
To those who have shown support in our career endeavors showing us you value us beyond parents, we are grateful for your advice, honesty, and integrity!! To those new people we have met and made friends with both personally and professionally, we are so thankful for your continued presence in our lives and our children's! To those rekindled relationships of the past that now share common ground of motherhood/parenthood, we are so thankful for your kind words, encouragement, common ground, and many stories of struggles and tales of triumphs! You are the best :)
To those of people who may have only been in our lives for a brief part of our journey...from BI NICU, EI, Attleboro, Natick, play groups, preschool, therapies, multiple hospital stays and dr visits, and the kindergarten fall fiasco...we are so thankful for the footprints left in our hearts!! To all of you still standing beside us where we are at now but are not critical and judgmental...who can hear our pain but still see our sweet moments...words are not enough...we love you sooooo much!!
To those many more people yet to come into our lives...know that our story is a difficult one, but well worth the read! Know that though we may seem rough around the edges or like we do not care about others around us...you could not be more wrong!! Though we are all fierce fighters we are fun, creative, talented, and smart...laugh often, live well, and love with the fullest of hearts!! We have amazingly resilient children who are absolutely awesome and though at times they can be trying they are all big blessings!!!! Nothing has torn us apart yet...you can be confident nothing ever will! Thankful for a loving Lord, a Graceful God, and a steadfast Spirit!! Thankful for new beginnings and a new year...bring it on!!!!
Hope your NEW YEAR is filled with health and happiness...hope you continue to be a part of our family journey as we navigate the roads of life with all it's hills, rocks, potholes, and smooth pavement... through the fearful forests to the happiest of high peaks...through the trying tides to the shores with the sweetest of sunrises...see you in the land of NEW BLOG!!!!
