As all of you know, the subject of premature birth is very important to us. Our friends Amanda and Matt were also affected by prematurity several years ago with the birth and passing of their first son, Logan, born at 22 weeks. Every year, the March of Dimes sponsors a March for Babies walk to provide funds to help moms carry to full term and to improve the health of babies. The Muhlbauers have walked in this walk every year since Logan was born. Now we are humbled and honored to join and walk with them for Logan, Finn and all the babies who are born too early.
You can help! We'd love you to join us and walk along side us on April 25 at Boom Island in Minneapolis. It is a 4 mile walk and may be the most rewarding thing you do all year! Just click on our website to join our team. Or if you are unable to join us, please take a few minutes and click on our website to make a donation. A donation of ANY size is greatly appreciated.
With your help, some day all babies will be born full term and healthy. That is my hope, anyway! We have been so blessed and it is because of donations and research from people in previous years. Please help to make other families have the same storybook ending that we have!

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.
