Sweet Blessings . . .

Last June was a very different time for my family. Our oldest son, Brent, and his wife Megan delivered their first son, Michael Cohen Marshall, on June 7, 2010, at Dallas Children's Hospital. He required immediate open heart surgery and was a good little fighter too! He was only with us for 12 days. God had bigger heavenly plans for him. He amazed everyone everyday of his little life and continues to to this day. Of course we were all devastated by his loss but even in his brief time on earth, Cohen taught his parents a lot about being parents and they knew it was exactly what they wanted to do. Getting pregnant isn't a routine thing for these two. It requires a lot and it took years to conceive Cohen so with all our encouragement and support, they decided to start again. They got a Christmas gift! Soon after, and due to the constant monitoring Megan endures, they found out it was twins! Sweet Blessings! It was tense up until the 20 week mark when they could check the twins hearts and make sure they were A-OK, they were! They are growing like two little peas in a pod! One boy. One Girl. Knox. Sloane. Hoping to make a late August arrival. Megan is on partial bedrest already so we decided to do her maternity pics right at Cohen's birthday and release his balloons AND the twins balloons together. The wind. Again!  She is 27 weeks here but measures full term for a single birth. Yikes! You can get more twin news and see how many lives Cohen has touched by reading Megan's BLOG here. Here's a few pics of my precious new grandbabies and their darling parents!
