Welcome to the Delaney Rose blog...

Delaney was born January 27, 2010 at 3:09 pm on a snowy Gunnison day. She was 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 pound 15 ounces. We survived 80 days in Grand Junction at St. Mary's NICU, and finally made it home the third week in April. We created this blog while living in GJ so that our friends and family could stay up to date on Delaney's progress. We plan to maintain the site and post when we can, so please enjoy!

Christmas Day







Had a fun Christmas weekend in Gunnison. We missed spending the holiday with our family but this year Delaney is, for the most part, still quarantined from the world. There was some major build up this season with Meredith and she was beside herself for several days prior to Christmas. Santa was good to her and she came down Saturday morning to find the new bike she's been talking about for months. It's a lot bigger than her little-girl bike so it's going to take a while for her to get used to it. It's been cold for the last several days but no new snow, which made for good bike riding around our house. Delaney got some really fun presents for her first Christmas, but like her Mom keeps telling people- she's much more interested in eating wrapping paper than playing with her new toys.
We spent most of the weekend hanging around the house, and doing Christmas projects. We made a huge mess in our kitchen building Graham cracker & candy houses. Meredith and Brandon went to feed the horses and Meredith had her first experience driving the truck while her dad fed the hay off. They also got to see a bunch of elk, some that were sneaking an easy meal in with the horses.
It's a pretty special Christmas for us with two healthy little blond girls. Thanks to all of you that thought of them this year.
