I've started a Family Team called "Our Fighters" in support of March of Dimes and March for Babies to help other premature babies just like our boys. Their mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Miracles happen with your love and support! Will you help me and my family save other babies? Please sign up to walk and/or donate on our team page: http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/t1384786
We'd love to get as many people involved as possible. Espeically all of you who have been so supportive since the birth of our boys. Hopefully it'll also be a chance for you to meet the boys (weather/illnesses permitting)! We'd also like to maybe make "team" shirts so it's important to sign up to walk now so we can get the designs rolling.....any creative designs are welcome!

Snow, Pics, Evals
Snow-
We've had our share of winter weather over the last few weeks and I was able to capture a couple of pictures of the "beautiful" snow/views from our house.
Pics-
Took the boys to a professional studio in Owego (thanks to the gift certificate from friends) to get some "naked" poses done. Needless to say our outings are always an adventure.....got down the driveway to hear a clunking noise. Bri gets out to notice, yup, flat tire. Just our luck! So I have to call and see if we can still come "late". Not a problem thankfully as the boys were already bundled up and ready to go. Countless pee releases later we were able to capture these (just proofs/not touched up/cropped yet):
Evals-
So last week was our early intervention screening to see how the boys were doing developmental wise. Of course I was a nervous wreck thinking, I'm a teacher for God's sake I hope I'm "stimulating" the boys enough. Well, all cleared, case closed!!! YAH! The therapists said the boys are doing GREAT, right on track and even a little above their adjusted age so no need for early intervention at this time. We were even able to find a better nipple for Grant so he doesn't have such a hard time catching his breath while he feeds. The only area in the future that they might need as of now is physical therapy to work with their motor development, which is very common for preemies. Weight wise the boys are continuing to do great (even though they're STILL in the zero percentile) Landon is up to 9lb9oz and Grant is gaining steadily at 8lb6oz (another lb in one week)!!

Literally up to our "asses" in snow.
