SUPER Baby Miracles

Kelli G had her perfect & precious

little miracle babies on November 9, 2010!

What a BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL

JOY in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Henry Duncan (Hank) and

Ellen Marguerite (Ella)

arrived on my Dad's birthday.

All during the pregancy Kelli said she was

going to name the babies after my parents

(Harold & LaVaughn)... ;)

I thought it would have even been more

special since it was my dad's birthday???

Oh well, I guess Hank & Ella

are pretty cute names!  ;)

I drove to Ft. Worth the day after they

were born to see my best friend's sweet little

loves.  And of course I wanted to love on

my Kate Kate...the SUPER Big Sis! 

I thought Ella looked a bit like

Aunt Jemima here!  ;)

I was SO happy that Kelli had a baby

boy, too!  Such a blessing to experience

both a girl and a boy!  I think everyone

woman needs her a little baby boy! 

Hank weighed 6'13" and

Ella weighed 6'12"!

Kelli was a ROCK STAR mama

carrying these babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are just so perfect and precious...

I immediately fell in L-O-V-E!

Can you even believe she had

them in these Superman onesies!?!

Beautiful Nana, Mary, Mrs. Gingerich

A sister for Kate!  :)))  I love me

some sweet little girls! 

Dr. B, his boy and ONE of his girls!

Kelli is my longest, dearest friend...

since before kindergarden. 

Even though we each have two sisters,

it's like we are sisters as well.

While we absolutely LOVED having

our first babies nine days apart and

experiencing EVERY single aspect of

pregnancy and first babies together...

it's also cool that we have now taken

turns enjoying our second AND third

at just the right times.  Hank & Ella...

being so perfect and sweet...

were well worth the wait!!!

I love them like they are my own

little baby loves! 

Congratulations to my

Best Forever Friend...

 I love you!!!



"For this child I prayed..."

1 Samuel 1:27

(For these children we prayed!!!)

Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for answering our prayers!

Texas Neuro Part II

Super Hudson & Super Hunter

Robin got Lynna this Superman Snuggie.

It was the BEST gift!

It has not only been used by each of us

to "snuggie" with...but it has

brought LOTS of laughs as well!!! 

Enjoying a beautiful November day at

Texas Neuro in Austin with friends & family.

Lynna & Hunter had Trav's beloved

dog Reese with them!  :)

Travis was so happy to have her! 

I am sharing a few pictures that I

haven't shared before.

PLEASE do NOT mention these on Facebook. 

These pictures are for my children and

 me to look back on someday. 

They are NOT for all of

my Facebook friends. 

 Travis was still very

sleepy at this time and very out of it.  This

happened to be a rather "wakeful"

few minutes when we took these pictures.

God bless his heart...I am having to hold

his head up for him.  The journey he

has been on is just unfathomable.

Travis reaching out to Hudson's tummy was

one of his VERY FIRST responses. 

AMAZING.  Thank you, Sweet Jesus.

Just think...doctors at two different

hospitals never believed Travis would wake up. 

TRULY A MIRACLE!!!

Scott & Dana

Occupational Therapist at TX Neuro...

Aunt Kitty & Uncle Ron on one of their

many visits.  They have been so

giving to Lynna during all of this. 

Trav's sweet girlfriends visiting...

One evening I had to go down to help

Travis in his room.  I came back to

find my kids having a ball with Uncle Calvin! 

My beautiful sister and I are closer than EVER

before.  We have talked every single day since

July 25th...usually several times a day.

Not ONCE have I heard her mention

having ANY anger towards God for this.

I think that is quite amazing.

SHE is quite amazing herself.

My kids & I love her so, so much!  :)

Little Huds spent many a weekend at

Texas Neuro...and he was always so good.  :)

Even with Walker doing some

"trick" photography on him!  ;)

It is my deep prayer that my children will

forever be changed by this ordeal.

I believe they have been and will continue to be.

Their hearts are even sweeter

than they were before...

 I wish I could erase these days &

memories for all of our sakes, but I can't.

May Walker & Hadlee & even Hudson

be stronger, more compassionate & wiser

people because of all of this.

And, most of all, may they KNOW

the power of God & His healing power

through prayer & the overall Goodness of others.

For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.  Psalm 18:35

Walker's Football Game at Baylor Stadium!!!

The first weekend in November,

Walker had his last flag football game

of the season.  Look at this PROUD

mama wearing her button!!!

Our team had the privilege of playing their

last game at Baylor Stadium!!!

With it being opening weekend for deer hunting

and really just the last game of flag football

for this one year, AND that it was at BU Stadium,

T-dawg Daddy was not there!  ;)

The Baylor graduate in ME was kinda happy

over that!  I'm just being honest here...

it was kinda nice to get to

honor MY alma mater for once!

This was Big Huds first time to have a

ring pop...in fact, it was sister's that

she didn't want anymore.

(Sometimes you do what you gotta do!)

Hudson pretty much made out with

this ring pop and thought it was

the greatest thing EVER!

My parents bought Hadlee this Baylor

cheer suit a couple of years ago...

she has only gotten to wear it a

couple of times.  Aggie blood runs

very deep in Troy!  Any mention of Hadlee

attending Baylor and he is QUICK

to mention that PaPa and Grandmother

will have to pay.  Well, that pretty

much keeps them quiet!  ;)

Regardless of all that, Hadlee and I

thoroughly enjoyed our day at

Baylor Stadium.  And yes, I had

visions of her being a Pi Phi

and attending (not watching of course)

many BU football games. :)

And even a few dreams of her cheering

for the Bears just like my

beautiful college roomie, Kaye! 

(Oh how I loved wearing her

uniform for fun sometimes!!!)

 

We had a sweet group of boys on our team.

We didn't win too many games, but

they always had fun! 

A funny little Baylor Pi Phi, don't ya think?!?

God love her heart...she never complains

about going to everything WALKER!

She just finds ways to occupy herself.  ;)

Remember that Aggie blood I mentioned?

Well, I think it runs even deeper in Walker!

Troy (and I) had to have some serious talks

with Walker about how it was okay to play

a game at BAYLOR Stadium.  "Even the Aggies

have to do it sometimes?".  Oh that BOY!!!

It really was a cool experience and

truth be known Walker loved it!

He played a great game!!!

Notice I didn't dare dress this little man in

Baylor apparel.  I'm not that crazy! 

"TOUCHDOWN"

Even though I hope with all my heart for

my boys to be Aggies just like their daddy...

I do hope that Huds has a Baylor girl

kissing on him someday!  ;)

Running off the huge field after

a great game!!!

Jonah & Walker had a blast being

on the same team!

Mike, Walker's classmate & distant cousin,

was there playing tackle football.

Apparently from what I'm hearing out of

Walker, that's NEXT for us, too.  :(

Great season, guys!!!

Walker...I will forever be your #1 fan!

I love how you ALWAYS hustle and

ALWAYS have fun! 

You're just so handsome, too!!! :)
