Nothing really new with Jacob or me. Jacob is just as busy as ever in school and comes home early when he can, but he is usually gone until at least 8:00 and sometimes 11:00pm. He is such a hard worker. It's crazy to think that he has less than two years of school. We still love living here and LOVE our house! It was such a good move for us.
We took the boys in for developmental and physical evaluations today at UCSF. We set a record! Drew and Sammy are by far the youngest (gestational age...born at 23 weeks, 4 days) they had ever seen. In fact, the neurologist said that they don't even attempt to save babies if they are younger than 24 weeks at UCSF. WHAT?!!!! That sounds horrible to me! One thing is for sure, despite how hard it was on us to be in Utah and to be away from Jacob, we were definitely in the right place. The Neurologist and each of the therapists could NOT believe what they were seeing with our boys. They were all so impressed with how healthy mentally and physically our boys are. I can't even begin to tell you how emotional I was at the appointment. These boys are absolute miracles and gifts from our Heavenly Father. There is no doubt about it. Why they came early, we'll never know, or we might.....but the important thing is that they are here. I am their mother and Jacob their father. We have the responsibility of teaching these boys (and any other kids we have) the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ, how to be hard workers, a good father (they have a wonderful example!), how to be men, a friend, and so on and so forth. I sure hope I am doing this whole "mother" thing right. Sometimes I wonder if I am being a good mom.
I love these boys more than I can say. They are my little beans and I can't imagine life without them. Despite the fact that they wear me out every day and by the time I go to bed I am completely exhausted, they are my treasures and I get excited to wake up to them the following morning.
Enough of my rambling......now the good stuff:)
