I just realized another week has gone by since the last post. It's been a busy one. Gram and Pop Pop came to visit on Sunday, attempting to synchronize their arrival with the end of Ed's morning nap. It didn't quite work as planned since Ed picked this day of all days to catch a few extra a.m. winks, but they still got some quality time, including a trip to the park where Pop Pop captured this shot. It was a little colder than it was on our last trip so the hat and jacket were required. Mittens probably would have been good too, but then he wouldn't have been able to hold on to the equipment for cruising--no thumb holes in baby mittens!

Last night we attended a candlelight vigil in honor of Prematurity Awareness Day. It was a nice event organized by our local March of Dimes chapter. They had a few speakers and then we lit the candles and had a moment of silence in memory of all the babies who have lost their fight against prematurity. We remembered Will, of course, and also Harry William, a little Irish boy who died last week after a two-month fight. His parents found Will's blog and emailed over the weekend to let us know they were comforted by our sharing our experience. How tragic to "meet" this way across international borders, but Will lives on, continuing to shape our lives and to touch more people than anyone could expect of such a little guy.
