Happy Anniversary, Marcie and Andrew

Marcie and Andrew with their oldest son, Theodore,
in May this year.

Twelve years ago we were in New Jersey for Andrew's wedding. What an eventful life they have had since then—moving from their charming condo on Capitol Hill to their current house in Rockville, settling into challenging jobs and becoming the parents of six delightful children. Nothing prepared them for the task they had this past year when their youngest child, Veronica, was born at 24 weeks of gestation. The three of them bravely faced the challenges, which Marcie chronicled so movingly in her blog. Well worth reading, not only for their story, but for the links to the parents of other micro-preemies.

Veronica is thriving and Marcie and Andrew are looking forward to a year with a little more sleep. Well done, and love from us all.
