Wow, what a year we have had! I thought a fitting way to show our wonderful year was to put pictures up from each month. Hope everyone enjoys and thanks for everything all of y'all have done for us over the past year from positive thoughts to prayers. We have had a crazy year and we are so blessed by each one of y'all. We cannot wait to start next year with a bang and Emma Claire's first birthday.

February - After 5 weeks on the ventilator, we moved to Vapotherm
March - Family picture time, we finally get to hold Emma Claire for the first time since she was born for more than a few minutes and how wonderful that was and still is!

Happy New Year Everyone!
