Finally posting some pictures, but the pictures were taken a month ago or so.  The twins are both doing great.  We just have started an exciting new phase with Virgil.  He is now very slowly starting bottle feeding.  And so far so good.  No reflux.  He's only getting a little over an ounce by bottle and the rest by g-tube.  But it is a start.  He really does seem to like being able to drink from a bottle and he pretty much goes at it as if he's been doing it from birth.  However he wears out quicker so that is why we are starting gradually.  Anyway I need to get busy here.  So I'll post these pictures and hopefully shortly I can take and post some up to date pictures.  Y'all have a great weekend and keep God first in all you do.  (a real challenge for me these days)

Twins Shower

They passed this around for all to look at.  Then you were supposed to write from memory what you had seen in the basket!

The children came along as well since if we are together as a group of church ladies we have no other baby sitters.  Freda so thoughtfully gave Cody a playdough set which all the children had fun with together that day.

Here's a close up of Virgil.  The one of Morgan is blurry.

Cody had fun looking at the gifts and he got a # for himself, so he didn't feel left out.

 A few pictures some of the cute outfits they got.  There were more outfits, and pampers and wipes, and toys and teethers, bottles, sippy cups, washcloths, baby care products and more.  We felt so blessed!  After the shower a lunch was served and then we worked at comfort kits with our sewing circle.  The twins did well so we actually were able to help.

A few days later we had our ladies supper at church.  Since I had left my camera at church after the baby shower I decided to get pictures of that as well.  We always have a great time these evenings.

My aunt Dawn with Virgil in her arms and Morgan on her lap.  I have no idea how I would manage it all without her help.  She has been a wonderful blessing and I thank God for her.  Cody is also a great little "big helper"  He puts pampers in the trash and dirty wash in the hamper or runs and fetches other things I need. 

That's all for now folks.  I'll catch y'all later.  God bless!!!

Hello to y'all.  I got a few minutes here and it's on my mind that I should at least drop a few lines to y'all to let you know how it is going.  Well, we, Morgan and I are still here at the McDonald House for nights and Virgil is still at the hospital and we spend time with him daily.  (except for the past weekend when I got sick with fever and sore throat and stuffy nose) But prior to that I had a wonderful week!!   Daryl and Cody did come up to visit me!!!!!!!!!   Last week they were with me from Tuesday afternoon till Saturday supper.  It was wonderful but went by way to fast!  They really surprised me as I thought they were only coming up Friday.  Daryl drove it straight through both ways!  Bless his heart!!!  and with a 3 year old at that!!  He said it went fairly well although Cody did do a bit more fussing on the way home at first, but as they neared home was so excited to be getting home.  When Cody was up here his idea was that Daddy,  Mommy, Cody, Virgil and Morgan all go HOME!!  That of course is what we all want but I explained to him we had to wait a little longer cause Virgil is at the hospital.   Anyway as far as that goes Virgil is doing great and expected transport is on Monday next week!  Now nothing is final yet and things could change!  But please pray with me that Lord Willing we can go home then.  Although I have to share with y'all something my dad shared with me that has really helped me keep things in perspective.  He said, "Denise, I know y'all want to go home and we think that would be best for you too.  But look at all the lives you are touching all the seeds of truth and words you can and are speaking for Christ.  Maybe God has someone else He needs you to reach for Him."  When you look at it all in light of eternity it really doesn't seem so hard to say Lord Willing!!   But humanly speaking to be away from home for almost 3 months is tough!!  Well,  maybe another day I can post a picture of the twins.  They are now 7 weeks old.  But for now I must get off of here and get on over to the hospital.  I'm expecting some visitors.  I still have some cold symptoms so will wear a mask while in the unit and at Virgil's bedside.  God bless y'all.  Thanks for all your prayers and keep on praying!!

P.S.  I see that for you xanga folks the last time I posted was after Virgil's g-tube surgery.   He did have to have 1 more surgery for a kinked intestine which is why we are still at the hospital.  However he is doing welll now and gaining weight.
