If you are like me, you scour the internet- and blogs in particular- for compelling stories. Stories of hope, stories of triumph, stories of sadness that touch your heart and cause you to reach for your greater good every minute of every day. Stories that remind you how fortunate you are. Stories that fill you with joy and laughter. Stories that humble you.
There are many such stories floating around on the internet. Some of the most incredible, to me, are the stories of families that have been impacted by the premature birth of their child or children. In honor of Prematurity Awareness Day, I'd like to share some links to the touching stories of two families.

What's that?
What's that? I have a blog you say? Ah, I had forgotten all about it!
So apparently two days before a big vacation sans internet access isn't the best time to try to renew my commitment to blogging. Clearly NaBloPoMo is shot, but I do want to try to post more frequently than I have been.
Finding the time will be challenging, but I will begin by allowing myself to post tiny snippets of posts. I started this blog to remember all the little things, so little things it is.
Little Man is crawling up a storm and I think Peanut is about to start crawling, herself! Her favorite game right now is to take the bucket of big beads, shake them out all over their play mat, then watch Mommy put them all back in the bucket again. Rinse, repeat, and a good time is had by all. Little Man's favorite game is pulling up, holding on with one hand, and trying to stay standing while picking a toy up off the floor with his free hand. The look of determination on his face is priceless.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
In just a few short hours I'll be on a plane with the babies. Their first flight, heading to my parents' house to meet their grandpa for the first time!

Kickoff
So... I'm not really a joiner, and I've never done it before, but I think I'm going to give NaBloPoMo a go. It'd be nice to give this blog a kick in the pants. I hate that the kiddos' first year is going by so quickly and I've captured so little of it here.
Anyone else planning to do it? Post your link in the comments so I can keep track and be inspired! :)
And because I've had fun posting pictures lately, I'll leave you with one. Here is our sweet little Peanut contemplating a tree outside the window at our local diner:
