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.

Row, row, row

Korri melted my (and probably Jim’s) heart yesterday! We both went to pick the kids up from daycare and when we walked in, Korri saw Jim first. She jumped up came over to the gate and kept saying, “dada, dada, dada!” over and over. She eventually saw me, but wanted daddy, even after I went to get Finn and we were leaving! I love moments like that…daddy’s little girl.


Finn had t-ball last night. Jim packed a picnic for the kids so they could eat beforehand (it is now at 6pm instead of 5:30, which actually seems to work better). Before t-ball started, I told Finn that he needed to have a good attitude and LISTEN to coach. And while he is three and will always have a little attitude; Finn did much better this week. Finn was picked to lead the team during stretching AND was team captain. I think he liked the extra attention. Jim seemed to get only mildly frustrated with him instead of calling it quits like last week. Korri was content to sit on the blanket and eat goldfish…although she thought she should be able to join the kids a couple times!

Oh, and I’m wondering if they sang “Row, row, row your boat” at daycare this week, because during t-ball Korri kept singing, “row, row, row” while making rowing motions with her arms. It was beyond adorable. It IS transportation week at daycare, and technically a boat IS transportation, so it is possible that is actually what she was singing. I wish I would have thought to get my phone out and record it.

After the kids went to bed, I got to have a little “me” time by going out to dinner with Stacey at Psycho Suzi’s. She had never been (can you believe it!) and while the patio was too full (an hour and a half wait at 8pm on a Tuesday?!?!), the inside was nice and I think she liked it. We ordered a multitude of appetizers and also ordered Jim a pizza before we left. It was really nice to have some time with her without kids; which almost never happens.

I have yet to drive the new van! I left my driver’s license at home on Tuesday when we ran errands and when Jim isn’t traveling (like this week…yay!); I take his car to work so he has the car seats for the kiddos. Hmmm…I’m guessing I will have plenty of opportunity to drive it over the next several years.
