Births and Homecomings
Wow, this has been a big week for the Williams cousins!
On Thursday, November 1, my cousin Evan (Shepard’s brother, for those of you who haven’t met him) and his wife Maureen welcomed their twin boys, Leo and Seamus, into the world! The boys are around two months premature, but they’re apparently quite healthy and active. I’m not sure how long they’ll need to stay in the NICU, but if you have a minute please pray for their continued healthy development, as well as for Maureen’s recovery from the C-section. Congratulations Evan and Maureen! Welcome to the adventure of parenthood!
And no less exciting is the news that my cousin Shepard returned home safely this weekend from his first deployment in Iraq. He’ll be stateside now at Fort Carson in Colorado for six to seven months until his next deployment comes up. I imagine he’ll probably get a chance during that time to head out to the east coast and meet his new nephews. Thank you to everyone that was praying for his safety, and thank you to God above all for bringing him home.

Thanks guys. I got a twins update this morning from Aunt Joan: Maureen is recovering well and has already been able to go home. The boys are doing good too, but they’ll need to stay in the NICU for another SIX WEEKS. Wow.

Leo is a little under the weather so they’re giving him antibiotics but they eat more every day it seems and they are both nearing 4lbs. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support and if you haven’t seen the kodak site pictures then drop a line to Evan so we can send you the link.

Clint - HOORAY that Shepard got home safe & sound! Praise God. *hugs* I know it wasn’t the greatest thing in YOUR book to have him go out…so I’m sure glad he came back just fine.
Congrats to the new parents - good names, too!!!
