Brothers

David just adores Scott . . . almost too much at times!  He loves to sit as close to Scott as he can, which often results in David ploping down on Scott's little head.  Scott is a good sport about it most of the time :-)  David hates to hear Scott cry, yesterday Scott was laying on the floor crying lustily (he really doesn't like being left alone)  and David went, sat down next to him, took his little hand, and started to sing to him in his sweet baby voice, and in his own little language.  It was so precious!  I wish moments like that could last forever! 

It's Been a Long Time

It's been a while, quite a while!  Life goes on, and on . . . things change, they come and go . . . Scott Henry was born on March 10th, 2 months early.  We had really hoped David being premature was just a fluke and not a reacuring problem we would have to worry about with each pregnancy.  Scott was in the St.Cloud NICU for 24days.  Days that just tore me apart . . . it was soooo hard to be away from David, although I can't tell you how increadbly thankful I am to mine and Stephen's parents for taking such good care of our oldest baby!  It was hard driving back and forth to St.Cloud for 3 1/2 weeks. I hated being at the hospital and away from David and I hated being home and away from Scott. God taught me alot.  It's not what or who I am that will get me through the tough times in life, but who he is and how much i rely on HIM.  Bringing Scott home was one of the best days of my life!  Even now, watching him sleep on mom and dad's couch i'm in awe of the beauty of life.  THe joy and wonder of a new baby will never cease to amaze me.  I'm so unworthy  of this precious gift!
