Another Great Celebration

These are some pictures which didn't make it to broadcast on Sunday for CHCH-TV's "Celebration" this past Sunday - where the communities of Central-West Ontario surrounding McMaster Children's Hospital (where Liam and Morgan were born) raised 5.6 MILLION dollars this year for Mac Kids.
Live broadcasts like this are always an immense undertaking, and - as much as it would have been nice to go into a little more detail about our story - I had other stories to tell which presented other parents, other children, other families - with greater challenges than Janne and I have ever had to experience.
The 'telethon' (they don't like calling it that, which is why they've re-named it Celebration) was an awesome job by everyone involved for a hospital loved by so many.
Certainly, it's loved by our family, and we have some great friends there.
If not for their amazing care, we may not have our beautiful children - our family - today.
Liam with his feeding tube. (He hated it, and pulled it out a lot, ergo the tape.)
Morgan couldn't breathe on her own.
Size comparison. Liam - to a thumb.
Morgan's thumbelina close-up.
A little twin time togetherness.

Which way to look...
...which way to look...
Roy Timm, a wonderful photgrapher, took this for us for Christmas 2007.

...but we couldn't send the posed picture out with our Christmas cards without sending this one, too.

Thank you, Mac Kids. Again.
