Welcome to our family site




WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY SITE



Over the past week we have had many changes.
ALL HAVE BEEN FOR THE GOOD!!!
GOD has Truly Blessed our lives.
First and Foremost he has brought SAM (Samuel David) into our lives.
He was born on June 15, 2007.
He weighed 3 lbs 14 oz. and was 17.5" long!!


He had to go to the NICU because he was preterm and under 4 lbs.

He has since moved to the Step down unit and we go and feed him every 4 hours.


Deanna and I are so proud of him and how he is doing. He is eating about half of what he needs right now and the rest is being fed via a tube through his nose. But he is doing great and we hope he will be coming home soon!


We would love for him to be at home with us but we are taking every opportunity to hold him and love him.Pop-Pop was excited about seeing Sam!

So was Mama Nise

Three generations of the Gilbert men

Gramma Sherry also enjoyed looking into those baby blues.


I will also attach a link to our Picassa site where all his pictures will be.


Thank you for your prayers and everything. We will keep you up to date.

Hey Chris and Deanna, aka Chris and Deanna. Oh, Yeah. I'm going to teach him a thing or two. Congratulations to you both. Have you brought his other brothers Nemo, Charcoal, Oreo, or Mischief to visit? I'm sure they can't wait to lick him clean and care for him. Well, you have been blessed with Sam and my prayers are with you. Pretty soon you're going to be chasing him around the housed yelling at him for coloring on the walls. What great fun! Hello Sam! Welcome to the other side. Make a big poopy-diaper for me. Love, Jeremy
