GRATEFUL

....for my son who somehow slips into what he calls "our bed" in the middle of every night (about 3am, he jumped in between us and I said "You need to go sleep in YOUR bed" and he replied immediately with "I think I just want to sleep in OUR bed tonight"... gotta love him) .... that often times you can't see our carpet through all the legos, trains and dinosaurs.... for having wonderful family and friends and a great support system......and for the fact that we have been given the opportunity to watch Addie grow and that she has been given this chance... even though I do get frusterated when Addie won't eat and Drew is literally climbing the walls, I am grateful that they are both here.

Through this experience, I have learned of too many people who have not been given the chances we have. I get frusterated, but never forget how much we have been given. I try not to think about what is next and sometimes I think that comes across wrong.... I'm not sure if it's denial or just the concept of living in the now, but it is the way I've dealt with it all I guess. We do appreciate everything and do thank everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers... We are honored to be able to share Addie's story of great success and will gladly answer any questions! Thank you ALL for being such an important part of our lives! We LOVE you!
