Milestones...

I'm 31 weeks today which is very exciting! Each day I am so thankful that these babies have had a little more time to "cook". As of last Friday, baby girl weighed approximately 3 lbs and baby boy weighed approximately 3 lbs 3 oz. This is awesome and means they are right on track. Next week (32 weeks) is another big milestone for lung development, so please pray for this next milestone. I'm back in OH and still keeping my feet up. My doctor says that it's working!

Well, no one wants a picture of themselves after gaining, ahem, XX pounds...but I know I'll want to show the twins what I endured for them, so I feel like I should document with a picture.

I'm kinda like a Weeble Wobble...

Also, today marks 5 years that I've been blogging. It can certainly be sporadic at times, but I've really enjoyed documenting our lives and have been thankful to those of you that keep following us. I know that finding time to blog will be even more difficult once the twins arrive, but I am determined to keep it up so we can continue to have a record of our family happenings. Just forgive me if I have a hard time forming complete sentences! :)

Taking It Easy In Boston

Like last year, Matt has returned to Boston this summer for coursework. The boys and I came with him under the strict advice that I am NOT to be touring the city. Matt's parents met us in Boston for July 4th, entertained the boys some in Boston, and they have taken the boys back to AL with them for their annual "Grand Camp" with all the grandparents.

I know they are having fun, but I already miss them. It was hard to say goodbye. :(

Meanwhile, this is how I'm spending my days...

...and missing this sweet little smile!

Headed to Beantown!

This has been a year full of big news. And next year will be a year full of big transitions. Many of you already know, but I want to make it blog official and let you all know that next summer we'll be moving to...

Boston!!


It's definitely bittersweet for us. We have truly loved living in Cleveland and have made great friends. And Boston is certainly not any closer to "home" for us.
However, Matt has received a "once in a lifetime" opportunity at a terrific hospital and research group in Boston, and after much prayerful consideration, we decided that this will be a very good move for us in the long run. This will be the last leg of his training!

So once again, you are all invited to come see us! I know it's far away from most, but Boston is a really cool city. Come check it out!
