So, I've been trying to start a Blog for quite a while now. If you can call two years quite a while. I have no good excuse before the boys came home, but since they have been home I have tried no fewer than 8 or 9 times. It seems that every time I get a paragraph started, someone wakes up from a nap earlier than expected, someone wants the attention of BOTH his parents, all day. Whatever the excuse, I just haven't gotten to it. My Thanksgiving resolution is to post what I have even if it is not complete, or written just the way I want it to, or edited for content. So if you are reading, do so at your own risk, thoughts may just end and never pick up again, spelling may be off, grammar atrocious, and sentences may just go on, and on, and on...
All that being said,
THANKSGIVING--
We have so much to be thankful for.
We are Thankful that they are here, alive, happy and healthy.
We are Thankful that they were born in a hospital with an amazing Level III NICU.
We are Thankful that they had the most extraordinary Doctors and Nurses to care for them during their five month stay.
We are Thankful that after five months we were able to bring home two baby boys, and watch them grow and develop.
We are Thankful that our boys appear to be developing normally, slightly delayed, but on a normal trajectory.
We are Thankful that everyday our boys smile, laugh, run and play.
We are Thankful that with their tough start, these boys may bear physical scars, but we haven't seen any emotional ones.
We are SO Thankful that Ryan and Evan have filled our lives, completed our souls, and brighten each and every waking moment.
Ah yes, and We are Thankful that they are finally both in bed, so we can be too.
Ryan and Evan were born at 26 weeks, they weighed 2 pounds 2 ounces each, and spent the first five months of their lives in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Their early days were rocky, but these days our adventures are filled with laughter and chaos.

Dear Janice, Scott, Evan and Ryan,
Really fun to see the boys and you doing so well. I enjoyed those early years so much with Aaron and Keely. Scott, I still remember all those special moments I witnessed in your first two years of life. Amazing how those little minds absorb so much. You are doing a great job! Wish we were able to particpate, but know that we are thinking of you daily and you are all loved.
Love, hugs and kisses,
Aunt Cindy
