Kooper and McKay are both at home and doing great! I am now just trying to keep up with TWO babies! (I am so grateful for my mom because most days it takes both of us to keep up with the boys!)

* I was recently reading Neal A Maxwell's talk from October 1997. He had been going through cancer treatments and said "I have been mercifully granted what might be called a 'delay en route.' Whether short or long, it is a wonderful blessing from the Lord! I have thereby learned, however, that there is another side of the "Why me?" question, since some are not granted a 'delay en route' at all. Whichever side of that question, what is needed is mortal submission, even when there is no immediate divine explanation. Thus we are to press forward, whatever the length of the near horizon, while rejoicing in what awaits us on the far horizon."
I was struck by his statement because I too feel like I am on the other side of the 'Why me?' question. Why me? Why am I so blessed to have three boys who are alive and well? Why am I blessed to live when there is advanced medical capabilities that has made it possible for my boys to enjoy healthy lives when they were born with imperfections that could have been fatal not too long ago? Spending time in hospitals, especially children's hospitals, helps me to focus on what is most important in life and makes me even more grateful for my blessings, health, and children. I am so grateful to continue my journey of motherhood with these two special babies.
