Settling in to our new home!

We have been here almost 6 weeks now and are finally starting to settle in and get in to a normal routine. Since being here we have went on many adventures (previous post) and love to discover new places to go. I have been working 5 weeks now, I absolutely love my new job. It is a very very long training process but I love every minute of it. I can't wait to officially be out of training (which is about 15-18 months) Ethan starts school this upcoming week and he's sooooo excited to get started. I feel like I need to blog more but with scheduling and work its been a little hard. Here is a couple pictures from my 1st photoshoot with the kids! I love the surroundings and atmosphere of everything around us. I truly do feel like we are home. :)

New Adventures

Road trip from CA to WA.....

Here is our road trip from California to Washington! We did it in 3 days, stopping in Red Bluff, CA and Wilsonville, OR. It was a very LONG drive but the kids did amazing and we consumed a lot of caffeine lol

Our Story......

Hi, my name is Krystal and around August of 2007 I decided I wanted to start blogging about my life and everyone or everything that's in it. I am happily married to my wife, Shauna, of 9 years now. She is my rock and without her I would not be the person that I am now. We have so many things in common and I knew from the moment I saw her that she was going to be in my life forever. In 2007, I conceived identical twin boys thru IUI,of coarse we only were trying for one baby but was so blessed to hear that we had two little babies growing in my belly. My pregnancy was a rather hard one, I was on bed rest from 21 weeks and on, I was on medicine to stop my contractions and preterm labor starting around week 20, and my twin boys developed twin to twin transfusion syndrome. At 27 weeks, we were told that twin a (Evan) had passed away and that twin b (Ethan) needed to be delivered asap. I was scared beyond belief but knew my guardian angel would look over us. I delivered both my boys on Wed, Dec. 19th via C-section. Evan was born at 1 lb 11 oz and 12 3/4 inches long, sleeping away. ♥ and his brother Ethan was born 2 minutes later at 1 lb 15 oz and was 13 1/2 inches long. Ethan underwent 61 long days in the NICU, having 2 blood transfusions, IV's, feedings by tube, and learning to suck, swallow, breathe, and eat all at the same time. He was a very strong boy and I owe it to his brother for making him so strong out of the womb. He came home at 4lbs 7oz still so tiny but so big considering. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God above for our miracle son and all the joy he brings us. He is our everything, our life, our soul. Ethan is now a healthy, growing and thriving little boy, as he should. We have 2 furry children, a English bulldog named Star and a tabby cat named Abby. We have the cutest family and life! Our family grew once more April 15th 2013. We welcomed our daughter McKenzie into the world at 8lbs 6oz. She is the exact opposite of Ethan but I love it. They have 2 totally different personalities. He is my timid and obedient one and she is my outgoing, test the limits kind of girl. I am beyond excited to start our journey as a family of 5 with our precious guardian angel watching over us and keeping us safe. I look forward to everything our wonderful children can bring us!! ♥
