Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

3...2...1...1...Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! In case you thought I was going a little too stir crazy and forgot how to count based upon what I wrote for the title of my post there is some meaning to it. In the event you didn't hear, there is an extra second this year. Sorry for the lame rhyme, but I'm trying out my prose in case I want to become a poet when we are done with this journey. Anyway, there is a leap second that is added to all of the official times immediately before midnight - not sure how the ball in Times Square will handle that one.

Stacy remains in good condition and spirits. She beat me at Trivial Pursuit tonight - I only had one pie when she won and for you naysayers no I didn't just let her win!

Thankfully we won't be getting an extra tax deduction for the baby this year - hopefully he'll stay closer aligned to his original due date of tax day on April 15 than anything else as it relates to that subject.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us, prayed for us and been so thoughtful. It has been a shining beacon of happiness and hope in what has otherwise been a sad close to 2008.

Here's to 2009 - I hope for the best for everyone!

Happy New Year to you two! Too bad the Gophers still suck. We only made it through the 3rd quarter. Congrats to Stacy beating ya...that's a feat I will probably never ever do against Mike.

Hey guys! I am glad that little man decided to wait until 2009 to grace us with his presence.

Emma wishes that she could give you lots of hugs and kisses. We pray for you all every night.

As soon as I am feeling better, i would love to come for a visit. I can't seem to shake this sinus cold, and i dont want to give it to any of the three of you!!

Love you lots and wish nothing but the absolute best for you guys.


PS. RaeAnn says that she is praying for you too.

Love Lo and Emma
