There are so many of my own fears lurking around the corners, and I try to keep them there because I have no clue where life will lead during the next couple of years...

The unconditional love you have for them just pours out in every one of your posts. It is what inspired me to start my blog about my girls. The candidness that you share about your feelings/loss is so comforting in the sense that you definately are not alone. I don't know what the future holds for my girls, but I pray that if there are any obstacles of any kind, I can handle it with the same grace, and spirit you have. These past 2 years have been filled with so many ups & downs for your family. Here's to the next 2 years having more ups & fewer downs. Holland & Eden are beautiful, it seems like you and John are doing such an amazing job in raising 2 very unique little cuties. Thanks for sharing a bit of them with us!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553537964217603347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-1155191931389606102006-08-10T02:38:00.000-04:002006-08-10T02:38:00.000-04:00Just delurking to say...

I hope to have a child as beautiful as yours one day... And I hope to have your patience and compassion in raising them. You are doing such a great job, and remember, while you may have lost the dream of what you ultimately believed your girls would become, they will eventually get there with their parents love and support. You are doing such a wonderful job! Say happy birthday to your beautiful daughters for me, and God bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-1155190472021643052006-08-10T02:14:00.000-04:002006-08-10T02:14:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness, I loved reading how Eden pulls Hol...Oh my goodness, I loved reading how Eden pulls Holland down to get the toy she wants! I got such a clear visual of it in my head and started cracking up. Sisterly love! From your descriptions, they certainly seem to be their own little ladies, with shining personalities. <BR/><BR/>I have no doubt Eden will be running around with her sister one day. She is making such progress and seems to be a very determined little thing! <BR/><BR/>Also wanted to add that I have a just turned two year old who was not a preemie and does not have hearing loss....yet he is NOT putting words together yet. He is starting speech therapy for this. He can, however, out run and out climb any two year old I've ever known. Each child has their own strengths and weaknesses. So, your Holland is ahead of my Tyler as far as speech is concerned!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-1155187342458345822006-08-10T01:22:00.000-04:002006-08-10T01:22:00.000-04:00So cute.

I bet a few years from now you'll have two little girls ambling about the house, playing in the sprinkler just as you dreamed of. I read that the majority of kids with developemtal delays who crawl in the first few years later learn to walk. We did a project on CP for ed psyc and I think the average age for them walking was around age 7. It may take them longer to do things and Eden will likely always have some difficulty but they will grow and they will learn. Be optimistic and start saving for two college educations :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299493731311058061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-1155182638739446392006-08-10T00:03:00.000-04:002006-08-10T00:03:00.000-04:00My favorite post - EVER!
