LTD are 8 Years Old!

It is hard to believe it has been 8 years since our angels were born at 35 weeks! I still remember the day they were born; Dave rushed me to Abbott Northwestern hospital driving 100mph at 4:30am in the morning due to a partial placental abruption (I was supposed to go in for a scheduled C-Section at noon). My mom was on her knees praying, our dog Shaq was pacing around the house in hysterics (since I was losing loads of blood and was rushed into the car without saying goodbye to him), Dave assumed the role of Mario Andretti and shocked the hospital staff when we arrived within 12 minutes of his frantic phone call from our home in Savage, and I was praying to God from the moment I awoke until the moment I heard the 3rd and healthy cry (then I passed out from exhaustion). Not only was God listening to our prayers, but he blessed us abundantly with 3 amazingly healthy angels that have brought SO much light and love into our lives. 

Lindsey, Taylor and Dylan - you are loved beyond words or expression. God has had our family wrapped tightly in his arms from the day your father and I met and he continues to guide us, teach us and love us unconditionally, even when we fall down or go through difficult times. We are forever grateful and look forward to many more years of sharing memories together as "Camp Clark" with God as our pilot. May God continue to bless our families, our friends, our neighbors, our church and congregation, our school and our country. Thank you, thank you, thank you to each of you and especially to you, God!
