Saturday, March 17
St. Patrick's Day

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Look Ma, I'm wearing green!
I see you!

Collin is doing great! Seeing him in real clothes (even if they are a little big) is a relief and he looks so much more comfortable without some of the extra tubes and bandages. Please keep the prayers coming, these next weeks are so important for him.

In the second picture posted today, he is gazing at a picture of his parents that is taped to the inside of his bassinette. :)

He so adorable all swaddled and comfy. I just want to pick him up. Collin Matthew is a poster child for the meaning of the words inscribed on that cross.

I love that Irish blessing.

Those are great pics! He sure does look so much more comfortable without all the gadgets! Well, not exactly gadgets but, youknowhatimean.

Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers for Collin and interest in his well being. We can use all the hope that we can get our hands on. Collin is the best thing to ever happen to Erin and I. His strength is making us better people and more caring and thankful parents. He is truly an inspiration (and how beautiful). Thank you Lora for putting this thing all together.

With Love and Thanks,
Matt and Erin Simmons (Mom and Dad)
