Niece Love

  I have 3 nieces. Peyton and Paige are newly 13 year old twins who were born at 28 weeks. They taught me how fragile life is with 9 weeks in the NICU. 2lbs 5 1/2oz and 2lbs 6oz. Tiny, tiny little girls who fought to survive. Not every baby survives. Period. Some don't survive the pregnancy. Some don't survive the birth. Some don't survive the 1st year. Some don't survive cancer or CHD. Life. Is. Fragile. It is not to be taken for granted. Reese. Oh, my Reese. :-)  She is full of life. A 3 year old with a huge personality. She was born 1 day before her due date. A fact that still amazes me. Instantly, her big sisters were fierce protectors. Peyton even yelled at the nurse who was cleaning her up. Told her she would probably get frost bite. She was under the heat lamps and it was 500 degrees. Peyton is a super athlete. She loves basketball and reading and video games. Paige is very artistic and has worked in nearly every medium possible. Both girls love music and both play piano. Paige is taking guitar lessons, while Peyton is in drum classes. Reese loves Merida from Brave. (she doesn't even need a red wig) She likes The Wiggles and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She is obsessed with an old cell phone, and has to have it to sleep. She also loves her AllyZabba from her Aunt Jame.
