Spray Park and More

We took all the boys to the spray park today.  Its been in the 90s the last several days and life without air conditioning has us living in undergarments and diapers.  But we're making it through and decided to get out today.  It took James awhile to get into it but then he left pushing the water down and playing in it.  Silas didn't like getting too much water in his face but Sawyer danced happily when water splashed his feet.  We'll have to go back again soon.

The twins will be 8 months old in just about a week.  Its a hard age for Michael and I.  Its when everything fell apart with James and we can't help but flash back to that time in our lives.  We are insanely lucky.  Looking at James you would never know what he's been through but the scars of his hospitalizations, surgeries, and weight issues run deep.  I thought I was past everything until I started having flashbacks when the twins were in the NICU.  When they came home things got better until they were around 13.8 (the weight James stopped gaining at).  That totally freaked me out but I felt better once they each got to 14lbs.  I know without a doubt that Halloween will be tough.  James never got a 1st Halloween.  His was spent having his throat reconstructed.  He has been through so much and he doesn't even have a clue.  Thank god he was our first, I can't imagine dealing with all of that and other children too.
