These are the newest photos we have of Boston. 8/21/08. He now weighs 3lbs 12oz. We have photos of his cute sisters with him but they are on the other camera so those will be up soon.
Wow, what a miracle. Steve and I have been praying for Boston and you are always in our thoughts. We are so excited to hear that he is doing so well--what a fighter. He must be such a strong spirit. He is so angelic--these pictures are beyond words. We love you guys--and want to do anything to help out (we'll contact Lisanne to see what we can do). We'll keep praying.
What another miracle!!! He reminds me of my sister's twins when they were born at 28 weeks. If there is anything that i can recommend is that shelby does skin to skin contact with Boston, that tends to help preemie babies recover faster. If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask since we just went through this in May. My sister's twins are now home. Cash weighs over 7lbs and Sidnie weighs 6 something now. Keep me posted, i wish I lived closer to help you all out. He will continue to be in my prayers. Kristin Kircher Ruegge

FLYING FREE
There is a place I call my own Where i an stand by the sea And look beyond the things I've known And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees Gliding gently on the breeze I wish that all my life I'd be without a care And flying free.
But life is not a distant sky Without a cloud without rain And I can never hope that I Can travel on without pain.
Time goes swiftly on its way All too soon we've lost today And I can not wait for skies of blue Or dream so long that life is through.
So life is a song that I must sing A gift of love I must share And when I see the joy it brings my spirits soar Through the air.
Like that bird up in the sky Life has taught me how to fly For now I know what I can be and now my Heart is flying free.
