Pictures of the NICU Visit

Finally figured out the picture post thing, these are the pictures from the boys: Hunter & Mason's visit back into the NICU on Wed Nov 12th. As stated in the last blog, the boys were allowed to visit Aiden in the NICU. These pictures were taken by Stephanie Thornton of SRT Photography, if you need excellent pictures taken, I can only tell you and show you she is awesome! She has documented this adventure for us in a way that no words can express. Thank you Stephanie, you rock!!!!!!!!!

























This rates as one of the greatest moments in my life, it was wonderful to have my family together for the first time. Thank you to the Drs., nurses and SRT. What a blessing it was. God is working through Aiden everyday.

What special and beautiful pictures! I can't imagine how wonderful those moments must have been. I've been thinking about you guys alot and about how taxing it can be to be in a hospital non-stop. I pray energy both physically and emotionally for you and that God will multiply every little bit of sleep you get!

Much love...

I want to echo what Carey said. I am at a complete loss to express just how I feel after looking at all of you together. The only thing that comes to mind is "AWESOME!" Aiden is truly miracle and an answered prayer! Looking at the boys reminded me of my visit with Aiden - how precious he is and how precious was that visit to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of your miracle.
Love to all,
Cheri

Shane and Ashley, I can only say thank you for trusting me with such an amazing moment in your life. I am so blessed to have been a part of your son's birth and to watch his brothers meet him for the first time was beyond words. I hope that the photographs will always remind us how special that moment was. It was a unique opportunity for me to use my nursing hat and photography hat all at the same time. God has blessed me in so many ways with my professions and this was one way that I used His blessings for others. I love you all, and can't wait to get over there to get some photos without all those tubes!! See you soon. srt
