Happy Thanksgiving

We are very THANKFUL for our family, friends, blog family, and complete strangers that have been there for us the past year and throughout entire lives at that. Without all of you and all of your support there are so many things that would have seemed impossible. Every single one of you have been their for support no matter what the need, you are all amazing in our book.

Through this blog we have met many wonderful people, people that we hope will be in our lives for a very long time. And to us many of you are still complete strangers, however you support us and have prayed for us, we just cannot thank you enough.

Both of our Mothers came to stay with us/me last year, dropping everything and being here when we needed them. Thank you Mom and Dena. Thank you to my parents for being here for every holiday last year to make things a little easier. We love you all so very much!


All of our family and friends that have been here to help us with the kids, while I was in the hospital and just to support us and feed us once we were home. We love you all so much and are so lucky to have you in our lives...thank you, thank you, thank you.

Most of all we are thankful for our miracles. They have changed our life so much and we can not imagine one day without them. We are so glad they fought to survive and are happy and healthy today.


We wish all of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving. We have an abundance to be thankful for and are so excited to have this first Thanksgiving with our little miracles.

Love to you all!

Amy-Jo and Brandon

Brandon...

I am very thankful for my caring, loving, smarty pants husband. He is such a fabulous husband and a wonderful father. He keeps me laughing every day no matter what and I need that. Brandon looks forward to the weekend so he can spend time with his children and loves every second of it.

Most importantly he lets me sleep in on the weekend until I feel like getting up. Brandon also makes sure there is always coffee for me as he knows what happens if I don't have something to get me going in the morning, not a pretty picture. He puts up with my quirks or has he would say my OCD every day and I think he doesn't mind it so much.

Brandon helps around the house when he can. He chose to stay in the hospital with me every single night last year, a long time, and helped me any way he could.


I could not ask for a better husband or father for our children. Love you Brandon and I am so thankful every day that you chose to spend your life with me. Daddy we love you so big...love, Logan, Elizabeth, and Madison!!!!

Brandon no longer looks this happy when it comes to Michigan :(


Doing neck stretches with Logan, he is so good with him.


Always smiling, Miss Lizy LOVES her Daddy...


Brandon feeds the kids every chance he gets...he is so great!


All you need is a Daddy and a box...weeeeeeeee!!!!


With Madison after a bath, Daddy despises bath night.




Rattle dance time...YAY!!

The girls love to wrestle with Daddy and climb all over him.



Daddy napping with his Madi Belle and Logan...how sweet.

The kiddos are always so tired for the last feed.

We are THANKFUL for...

Our beautiful 9 month old babies, as of this past Wednesday. Time sure is going by quickly lately. I tell people every single day and I tell our wonderful children every single day just how blessed we are to have them in our lives. Every morning I wake up and no matter how much sleep I had or how I feel I know everything is going to be wonderful because of our little miracles.


Of course we are behind on getting to their 9 month appointment and will have all their stats posted after that appointment. The girls are army crawling everywhere and are going fast and sitting up on their own. I turn around for a second and one of them will be in the kitchen sitting up, for that second my heart skips a beat as I am TERRIFIED of them falling backwards.

The girls are doing great with eating, we are still working with Logan but they all eat at the same time and approximately the same amount. There are times we have to stop Madison because she would eat until she got sick, trust me on this.


Here are some recent photos...I just LOVE them all so very much! Warning, this may be picture overload.




Madison trying to make a break for the hard floor (their new favorite game).

Lizy chasing Blue. Very determined.


"This is how the rattle dance is suppose to go daddy."



Madison needed some privacy for her reading.


The girls both love to come torture...ummm I mean play with their brother.



Bath time fun. Still Daddy's least favorite activity.


Mr. Happy Pants. He's come a long way since is Mr. Crank Pants days!



Love that grin, anytime the camera is on she is still such a ham.


Madi showing off her sitting skills.


Logan still working on his tummy time.

Umm ya that's the end table, and no they are not suppose to be there.

I swear we used to have some carpet in here, now its just a floor made of toys.


Jumper time!


The girls planning a jail break.

This moose is very tasty thanks for asking.


99% of the day the girls look like this, I wish I was kidding.



Ha! Madi you should see whats on your head you look funny!


A little back massage for Lizy.


Amy-Jo decided to clean out the washer and the case of the missing socks was solved! It was the washer in the study with the candle stick.



We are handsome I know..Brandon obviously wrote this :)

The girls on their way to visit brother...so sweet!


Love-Amy-Jo
