Tyler and Parker Thompson arrived on June 23, 2008 at only 26 weeks and 4 days old, weighing 1 pound 6 ounces (Parker) and 1 pound 10 ounces (Tyler). Parker spent 129 days (home 10/30/08) in the NICU, while brother Tyler spent 143 (home 11/13/08). We are thrilled to have our family complete with both boys home!
This blog was created by John (the daddy) to inform family and friends (and now new acquaintances) of the twins progression. Below is the blog archive dating back to the week Heather (the mommy) was admitted to the hospital. We try to post weekly updates, but on occasion the week gets the best of us.

Just For Funzies!
Don't want my family in India having withdrawl...
Tyler getting tummie time!
Boys telling secrets already!
Parker eating...a moment to catch because normally he's fussing and we're stressing! Looks like a relaxing sight, doesn't it?
And the baby even smiles...because he's finished eating! Always a good time for everyone!
John & Heather, What an amazing story you have been living with your two miracles. They are soooo cute!!! You've been in my prayers and I'll continue to pray for good health throughout 2009. You've been so strong and deserve those bundles of joy at "HOME", where they really belong. Congratulations on such a big milestone!!! Thank you for allowing me to get a glimpse of your journey through this blog. I look forward to meeting them in person someday:) Take care and let me know if there's anything I can ever do.

There are SO many of us still following the blog. (When I say we're hooked...I mean we are hooked!) It is such a delight to see each time there is an update on the boys and your dear little family. Todays' entry is a sweet surprise to see the smiles and Tyler lifting his head to look up for the photo. We know your life is really, really busy now. We appreciate each and every time you share something with us. Karla
OMG! That's what we are talking about.... We can't believe he's lifting himself up. We made everyone at the internet cafe look when we opened this with our AHHHHHHHH The boys will be walking by the time we get home. Thanks! Teresa & Katie

We live each day with a sense of hope, happiness, and determination. We take one step at a time, day by day, knowing that we will one day wake up and find ourselve with two grown sons! We savor their existence and try so hard to not take ANY time for granted. After a five year struggle leading up to the birth of our darling little ones, we are so grateful for the family we've been given. This blog has become our family journal that inspires and comforts us daily. Thank you for sharing in this journey with us!
