Things either seem too mundane to report or too huge to capture in words. And so, the website sits neglected. That said… I’ll try. First, the big stuff. Babies. Not that they’re big… but they ARE growing! Emmett tops 3 pounds now and a couple of days ago, Gracie weighed in at 2 pounds, 4 ounces. Both were taken off ventilators right after we arrived (Gracie first!) but breathing proved to be a bit too much work for Grace so she once again wears a CPAP mask on her face. She hates it! More worriesome is that she is having trouble eating. Hopefully, they’ll figure out why soon and, in the meantime, she’s getting bigger anyway. She even has a double chin! Emmett has moved to intermediate care and so could transfer to Santa Cruz now. However, he is calmly, quietly waiting for his sister to catch up (while eating 100% mama milk!) If only his grandparents were as patient!

Steve and I, and the fur kids, are settled back into life at the beach. We’ve been treated to INCREDIBLE weather! The area needs rain but it is hard to complain about temperatures in the 70’s and sunshine, especially in January. As much as we didn’t want to leave Texas, it was great coming back. Folks seem genuinely pleased to see us, and the whole camp host experience has been much more welcoming the second time around. We are so grateful!
