We attended our 4th Overland Park Regional NICU reunion yesterday evening, which was held at the Wonderscope Children's Museum. We ran into Dr L and Dr H as well as several nurses who took care of Matthew during his 108 day stay in the NICU...all were so pleased to see how great he is doing 4 years later! We also visited with several of our friends that we met during the summer of 2008...these friends will always be dear to our heart, as we all went through the triumphs and tribulations of the NICU together. No one truly understands what it is like to have a sick child in the NICU unless they have had one themselves, and we are so blessed that we can look back 4 years later knowing that all of the scary times were well worth it in the end!
The boys loved the Harleys...

I received a masters degree in accountancy from the University of Missouri-Columbia and worked for both Arthur Andersen and Sprint for almost 10 years. Our first son, Matthew David, was born prematurely on May 26, 2008, weighing only 1 lb 1 oz. He spent an entire summer in the NICU, and is now a very active 10 year old. Our second son, Zachary Thomas, was born on September 7, 2010. Our daughter, Katelynn Florence, was born on July 6, 2016. I currently work part-time from home as an accountant, coach Zach's basketball team, and am the PTO Treasurer for the elementary school. I keep very busy running after the 3 kiddos!
