Memories of Kauai...

I was just going through my computer files and found my FAVORITE video - made by our dear friend Olivia right before I deployed to Afghanistan (March 2006 - February 2007). At my farewell I was presented with this video, which I admit to watching EVERY DAY while sitting in my bunk over in Kabul. I absolutely love it - it truly depicts the amazing life we all shared in Kauai. Enjoy!

Cheers,
Whit

To Our Primary NICU Caregivers - a Heartfelt Thanks

Hello everyone! First of all we wish to thank all of you who have been sending your best wishes and love over these past SIX MONTHS since Caldwell and Naomi were born. Thank you all!

This post is dedicated to a special group of people - the nurses and respiratory therapists who took care of the babies (and the parents) on 12 hour shifts for an astonishing four months while we had babies in the NICU. To show our appreciation for their care and love we hosted a barbeque at our house on Saturday, June 6th. If we could have hosted 1000 parties in their honor it simply wouldn't be enough - because there is no substitute for somebody standing by your side and even giving you a much needed hug when you have just received bad news about your baby. Oh, did I forget to mention that it is because of these heroes that our babies are even here today? That's an important issue that we will NEVER FORGET. So thank you - from the bottom of our overflowing hearts.

It wouldn't be a blog post without a cool video, now would it? Hope you enjoy!!!
