My new photo is that of me and my 3 grandchildren: Aiden, Ethan and Layla.

Layla and Ethan were born 4 months premature at Buffalo Children's Hospital in Buffalo, NY on June 18, 2008. They each weighed less than one and a half pounds and were no longer than the palm of my hand. Their little diapers were half of a toothbrush tall. They were in the NICU for the first 6 months of their life. Ethan (aka EMan) survived 5 different surgeries, including 1 heart surgery. His little chest looks like a roadmap. He is truly my hero!

They are thriving and happy babies, a little behind in the growth department, but eating like crazy and just living and loving life. I thank God everyday for them.

I just had to share their story...thanks for listening!
