OK, so, I have had a few people ask why Ty wasn't in any of the pictures of Roman. Simple. Roman died shortly (very) after I found out I was pregnant with Ty. In fact we hadn't even told some family members about the pregnancy until the funeral. It was a difficult pregnancy to say the least. Ty was born 6 weeks early and spent those 6 weeks in the NICU. It was horrifying. I was told that there was a 30% chance he would make it. He did. And we did. Although we are still paying for him.:) I don't recall ever feeling like I was pregnant and the whole labor and delivery seem like a dream. I kind of think it was a blessing that he spent that time in the hospital, because I don't think I was mentally prepared for him. It was almost as if he just appeared out of nowhere and the nurse said, "here is your baby!" shock. and thats the way it has been ever since. He is very intelligent. He could get on top of the fridge by his 1st birthday. He took all of 2 minutes to learn to ride his bike. He figured out how to defeat those doorknob covers on the first day. He does have some speech delay, but right now, listening to my kids fight, it doesn't seem like a bad thing!!!
The hardest part is not having a complete family picture. but I rest assured with one that Lexie made, mind you she was only 4 and in preschool. this hangs in our living room and I see it every day. Love how we ALL have angel wings.

I love the family picture. GReat job Lexi. You know Aaron had a speech delay too. The state has a great program where, if your child qualifies, he can go to speech therapy threw the school system starting as young as 3 yrs. It's free regardless of income. We've had Aaron in it.. this is the second year. He really loves it and it has really improved his speech. He shouldn't be behind at all by the time he starts kinder.
