Much Needed Update

Hello everyon. I am going to try to post some new pictures ASAP. All is well in Turner Land. Before I forget, please consider sponsoring our family for this Saturday's March for Babies. We have set a goal of $250. We have had one donation so far. Because I am not a computer wiz-the banner on the blog says something like "help support my friend"-but those contributions go to our family team of Matthew, Anna Kate, Mom, Dad, Nana and Grampy Turner and some of their friends and the Baker's from our church. So, please consider if you would be interested in making a donation.

Our trip to Massachusetts went well. The kids did great on the flight and although it was a busy time at home-they did great. They were happy to be at Nanny's suprprise 90th birthday pary. With the exception of a dead battery when we returned to Charlotte-it was an uneventful trip.

Mattew got his helmet on Monday. By Saturday he will be wearing it 23hours per day. So far, it hasn't seemed to bother him. Both kids did well at their second NICU follow up visit. They are on track developmentally for their adjusted age. We do need to work on rolling over-but they are doing well besides that. They do very well in their exercausers and are growing and changing everyday. Matthew seems to be developing faster with speech and Anna Kate has better muscle control and strength. It is interesting to see how they are changing and developing differently. Overall, Matthew's personality continues to be more laid back and Anna Kate is a little more high strung. Just like their Mom and Dad :-).

Helmet . . .here we come!

We took both kids to be evaluated last Tuesday. Matthew will be getting a band (Helmet) in the next few weeks. Hopefully it will help round out his head so his ears align. I will try to add more info and pictures once we get the helmet.

We are flying to MA tomorrow morning to see my family. I have had a cold all week and the kids have now come down with it. We are driving to Charlotte in the morning and flying to Boston around 11:00. Please pray that the kids do well on the plane. We will be returning Thursday.
