Just in time!






Ashlyn made it home yesterday, just in time for Christmas. Shaylah is a very proud big sister and loves to "help" with the babies. She keeps saying "two babies!", as if she can't believe her luck. We feel so fortunate to finally have the whole family together...what a wonderful gift!

Are you kidding me?!?!? This is awesome news! I have been checking the blog everyday and this morning was the best day on the blog ever! How wonderful that your dream of a Christmas at home with both babies has come true :) Although by the looks of the time of the post you didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night!!! Have fun Mars, Johnny and Shaylah and the Fitzpatrick's cannot wait to meet your new babies:)

OK, these pictures totally made me teary - so wonderful that your beautiful family is all together for Christmas! I'm so happy for you all.

I just read the whole blog archive! Since Rowan got transferred last week, I've missed you and your adorable, courageous babies so it was great to see their faces again and read their story. Thank you so much for posting all this - and thank you for being so positive. Every day I saw you and Johnny I wondered how you two kept going with smiles on your faces; your faith and your amazing attitude towards the whole challenging experience are inspiring.

So again, thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!

i am such a sap, I burst into tears when I saw Shaylah sitting so proudly and excitedly between your babies ("her" babies :) and the babies in car seats no less (symbolic of their journey home)... i'm SO happy for you all!!!
