This blog chronicles our adventures as we, The Smiths, try not to become our parents. Ries and Michelle are parents in denial that they are growing more like their parents each day. Gideon is trying to overcome the genetics given to him by his loving, though crazy, parents.
Gideon had a hard start to life. At birth, his lungs did not function properly, due most likely to severe meconium aspiration. He spent the first 5 weeks of his life in the NICU at Texas Children’s Hospital. We know that God has a plan for our family and we have hope and joy in the knowledge that God carried us through this trial. Gideon is now a normal, healthy baby. God has blessed us beyond measure and we thank Him for His provision every day. For the full story, read our posts from the NICU.
You will find all manner of things in this space, from parenting adventures, to recipes, faith, and life adventures. We are writing this for our own sanity, but are pleased if you enjoy it.
All our love and prayers go out to you.
Mitch & Peggy
