Welcome to our family's story
Over the past several years Kristy and I have been through the highest highs and the lowest lows. In January 2008, we were blessed with our newest twins, Jack and Ella, who were born prematurely at 27 weeks. Our fighter, Jack, weighed in at 1 lb 3 oz at birth and our princess, Ella, at 1 lb 13 oz. Through many prayers and lots of love from our friends at Riley, they are now in excellent health.
In August 2006, our first twins, Claire and Gracie, were born too prematurely at 20 weeks. We'll never forget and will always love them.

awesome!
Yeah Jack, keep up all of the hard work little guy!!
His coloring looks awesome. He is such a fighter! I hope you'll be able to hold him soon.
Amazing!! What little fighters you two have created! They are beautiful children!! Don't forget to read to them when you aren't able to hold them. I am sure they would love to hear your voices! We would read to our daughter all the time. My husband and I had a great time remembering all those nursery rhymes too!!
Best wishes and still praying!!!

So glad to hear! He looks great!
Jack you look amazing. This is such wonderful news we are all excited!!
It's good to be a Kokoska!!
way to go, jack! what a strong little guy.
makes me think of the nursery rhyme"Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candlestick"
Nimble, meaning he is a clever little guy figuring out how to catch up with sis, quick, of course, meaning quick to catch on and jumped over the candlestick meaning one more big hurdle that he has accomplished. The picture of Kristy holding Ella is just priceless. It was very interesting to read about the kangaroo care, I can't imagine how exciting it must be for Kristy.
As always keeping all 4 of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Kristy! He looks great!! His coloring has changed so much since last week's pictures. Hope you can hold him soon :)
What amazing progress they have both made in less than two weeks! They look great. I know you must be loving snuggling Ella (and soon Jack). That feeling never goes away, no matter how old they get. I'm so very happy for all of you.
I am so amazed at how little O2 assistance Jack and Ella need. And Jack's color looks great! Rock on Kokoska miracles!
What a cute picture of Jack-Jack!! Glad he is doing better. He'll be caught up to Miss Ella soon. Give them a hug and kiss.
See you Sunday.
