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.

Wild weekend

Daycare was closed on Friday, so Memere came Thursday night and watched the kids for us Friday. From the sound of it, they were very busy and had a lot of fun. After work, Korri and I met Jess for Korri's 18 month pictures! We (Jim) toyed with the idea of skipping them, but since she just got her glasses, we (Jess and I) thought it was necessary. But of course, just like almost every photo shoot my kids have done, Korri did NOT want to smile or cooperate. We were at it for almost an hour and by the end, Korri had warmed up a bit and I think we got some smiley ones. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

The plans for the weekend fell through and changed about 10 times between Thursday night and Saturday AM. So instead of going to Jim's family reunion on Saturday AM, Kristine and Zander came over to play. He is so stinkin' cute and so happy! Finn really likes him and gave him several kisses and hugs. Kristine picked up THREE tubs of Finn's clothes for Zander. Zander better slow his growth curve or he will be wearing the same size clothes as Finn before too long!

Then after nap, it was decided that since the reunion was rescheduled to Sunday (apparently you have to RESERVE the shelter!), Nana and Papa came over to our house and her two sisters and their husbands joined us. It was so much fun getting to know them and they just loved Finn and Korri (how can you not like somebody who likes your kids?!?!). The company and food was amazing (Jim grilled steaks).
Then on Sunday, we went to the reunion for a little bit (above is Korri eating her lunch, which was mainly watermelon, strawberries and blueberries!). Finn played ladder ball forever...and if he was close, was pretty good. Korri kept getting into everything...shocker! After the reunion, Memere took the kids and headed to Oville. Nana and Papa came over to our house to spend some time with us, which is always nice to have one-on-one time with them. We went to The Sample Room for dinner and it was fabulous, even if Papa didn't LOVE his meal :( The pleasant conversation hopefully made up for it! Wow, what a weekend!
