The Next Chapter

(Cole still isn't quiet sure what to think of Stella - this is 
the closest he's come to her in seven days!)

We began this blog when the twins were first born as a way to keep our loved ones informed.  The early arrival of the babies and the long, difficult road we knew was ahead of us was devastating, so the blog started at a time when we could barely speak to our parents and siblings. We had no idea that the site would attract so many followers, or that our NICU/PICU journey would be so long and exhausting, nor that it would end so sadly.  As we embark on this next chapter with our lovely little Stella and attempt to establish some new routines at home, we hope to continue sharing some special moments with those who want to keep following our family.  We plan to blog every Sunday as our routine, and may have an 'extra' post here and there for really exciting milestones and treasured tales. 

Thank you to all of our loyal friends and family - we couldn't have come this far without you.

Love,
The Todds

  1. Looks like Stella does not know what to think of Cole either. :)

    He looks a lot better with his new "fur cut".

  2. Randy, Beth, and Stella,
    My goodness...it just doesn't seem possible that Stella is able to sit in a Baby Pod Seat already (time really does fly). She is adoreable and as for the cat, Cole will come around eventually. I remember how bent out of shape Gus was when we first brought Hagen home. Now poor Gus is adjusting the the fact that there are two of "them" and that they can both move around and follow him...LOL! I find that he has a new appreciation for sleeping under our bed! Have a good one. We send all our love.
