Photos from March

It was darby day last Sunday which means Liverpool and Everton football (soccer) clubs were playing one another. Always a big match when that happens. Benjamin was determined to show his colors in support of the mighty reds. "You'll never crawl alone" is a baby version of the Club motto "you'll never walk alone".
























We have been blessed with good health this past month and have felt comfortable getting the boys out and having more visitors in. Here are some photos of our very special friends we wanted to share with you.

This one is Cathy Henderson from Half Moon Bay, California. Doesn't it look like Benjamin is patting her back too?


















Our friend Ofie Cruz from San Antonio, TX ws also able to visit and Joseph allowed this shot to be taken. He has been a real "Daddy's Boy" lately so it was quite an accomplishment for her to hold him without him getting frustrated.























Ryan Pickle is the pretty auburn haired lady holding Benjamin here. She is a labor and delivery nurse at St. Francis and the one who was on her way out of town the day my doctor decided we needed to deliver. I called to tell her and she turned around to come back to the hospital and be a part of the delivery team, even though it wasn't even her shift. An incredible young woman in many ways, and she was an especially important element in our hospital story this past summer.

Matthew and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on March 24th. This photo was taken that day. Joseph looks as much in love with his dad as I am! At this point in time Matthew had been singing to Joseph to calm him and Joseph was absolutely engrossed. Joseph really loves music and especially when it comes from his Dad.

The boys will certainly miss their Grammy. On March 31 Joseph and Benjamin turned seven months old and on April 1 my grandmother passed away. She spent seven months holding, rocking, singing and playing with them and I will tell them about her for years to come.

Saturday morning, April 5, at 9:30 will be the memorial service at the Rosewood Chapel of Moore Funeral Home for anyone interested.

This remarkable woman lived to be 88 years and 8 months of age and has left an enviable legacy. Her kindness and self sacrificing nature will not soon be forgotten.

Joseph and Shiloh have a secret!!

I am not sure what the secret is, as neither one is saying but you can tell by the eyes there is something going on. I suspect that Joseph slipped Shiloh a treat when nobody was watching and neither one want to give the other up. (I won't tell if you won't - oh hi mummy how are you!!)




















Renee and the boys, its a trick but Mom's can do amazing things entertain one boy while feeding another.

























The boys special and until April 1st their last surviving great grandma. Grammy was a beautiful lady and loved our boys so much. She did so much physical therapy work on the boys that we will be able to see her loving care whenever Joseph and Benjamin jump, run and play. I look forward to the day when she will be able to see how these boys have grown up, when we will all see her again in Gods Great Kingdom.
