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.

New Year and new pics

Sheesh, Jess is fast! She already has a preview of Finn's one year pictures on her blog! If the rest are even half as good as these, I can't wait! Jess's website A side note: Jess, I honestly can't thank you enough for taking Finn's pictures for us this past year. You have captured moments in his life that we would have otherwise forgotten. You have a special ability to truly capture the spirit and soul of whomever's picture you are taking. And Finn made sure it wasn't always easy! I feel priviledged that you agreed to take Finn's pictures. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm sure my arm can be twisted into a shoot in April to commemorate his adjusted one year "birthday!"

The Gophers played in the Insight Bowl yesterday. It was on the NFL network, so we had to go out to watch it because we don't get that channel. We were prepared to take Finn with us, but Auntie Becky volunteered to let him stay home with her instead, which made it much easier. Plus, do you know how freezing it was last night?!?! Yuck. Anyway, we watched the pathetic Gopher performance at Park Tavern with Mike, Katie, Sondra and Beth. Boo, Gophers. They lost to freaking Iowa State (sorry, Amanda, but the Gophers really should have won).

We headed home and hung out with Becky, Pete and Austin the rest of the night. I took the best video ever of Austin when we got home. I'll have to upload it soon. Austin got to stay up as long as he was listening and obeying. He was probably the best behaved I have ever seen him...and he even made it all the way to midnight. I don't think he stopped moving once after we got home...was probably scared he would crash! We woke Finn up right before midnight so all six of us brought in the new year together with a champagne toast (sparkling grape juice for Austin and watered-down apple juice for Finn). It was a very nice way to ring in the new year. Thank you to all of you who helped us get through 2009. It was far more challenging but also so much more rewarding than we thought it would be. Here's to seeing what 2010 has in store for us!
