Well, the only thing that I have to report is that they are both still doing great. The Lord obviously has blessed us while I am not there. He definately knows that my boys need me at home for a bit and He is making sure that the babies do nothing but get cuter and better for me. I miss them so badly and I can't wait to kiss their sweet cheeks again! However, it is also obvious to me that the Lord wanted me to be in our ward at church this week. Relief Society and Sunday School were both lessons that I needed to hear. What comfort I can recieve when I listen to the spirit!!
Today both of the babies got a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Salisbury and Grandma and Grandpa Lindstrom. Both grandparents report that the babies are doing very well. Dawson is chunking up and you don't see his ribs so much anymore, but they both loved his newly developed little round chubby cheeks. Mallory reportedly took herself off of the nasal cannula today. Grandma Salisbury went to tell the nurse that something didn't look right. The nurse, without even looking, replied is it her cannula?! Apparently Mallory thought that her eyes needed the oxygen more that her nose. What do the nurses know anyway?! The nurse finally gave in to Mallory and removed it all together and now she is doing great just breathing on her own. They also told Grandma and Grandpa Lindstrom that our little Mallory has attitude to spare and that when she is upset everyone knows--she's got a good set of pipes, I guess!
Well, we are off to bed. Just so you all know Jake is doing great. I think he is starting to understand that this is just temporary and that we will all be back together very soon. We hope you all have a good night. Jeff and Lynne took some pics and if they can get them to us through email we will try to load them here for all to see.
Love you all,
Ryan, Amy and Kids

Love, Lisa, Ryan, Kaitlyn, Bridger, and Caroline.
Dear Amy,
Last night I thought alot about my visit with the babies and I had a couple of things I want to add to what I told you. When we went in to see Mallory we got such a kick out of her. She is totally entertaining! And yes, she does have quite an attitude which is hilarious. When we visited her she was laying on her tummy and she looked so comfortable. I said hello to her and she wrinkled up her little eyebrows as if to say, "Do you mind, I'm sleeping here!" She then lifted her head straight up and turned it to the other side. I walked around to the other side and she opened one eye and looked at me. She decided that maybe she would visit with us after all so she opened both her eyes and was really quite pleasant as we talked to her and held her hands. Her cannula was so funny. It was right across the bridge of her nose. When the nurse put it back in, she just reached up and pulled it out again. That's when the nurse decided to just take it out. I think Mallory was pretty proud of herself. We enjoyed our visit with her so much.
Dawson is amazing. When we visited him, dad and I just became very teary. We were so humbled. That was not because there was anything sad. Dawson just has the most special spirit about him. You can feel the angels in his room caring for him while you are in Idaho. It is so hard to describe in words but you know what I mean. He's such a pleasant little soul. I reached my hand over to him and he grabbed it and held it tight. He looks so good, especially for a little boy who has been through so much. We had a doctor and two nurses come and tell us how well he is doing. You can tell that everyone is just so taken with him. I told his nurse how hard it is to be away from the babies for you and for all of us. We look so forward to just bringing them home and starting our lives with them. The nurse looked me right in the eyes and said, "If it helps at all, I can tell you that I love this little boy with all of my heart and I am so protective of him. I am going to make sure that he continues to do really well. That is very important to me." I felt good about that and she also took a long time to explain things to us. It helped us understand everything that is going on.
Anyway, Amy, you have the most beautiful and special babies. It is such a priviledge to be their grandma. I can't wait to see them again.
I love you and I'm so glad that your boys get to have you around for awhile. I'm sure that means alot to both of them. Drive careful when you head back down this way.
Love,
MOM
Well I see that mom has finally started writing her book...although I don't know why she decided on your website as a starting point. Jeez mom that was the longest comment in history. I'm kidding,kidding,kidding of course. Anyway I want in on the lunch plans. We shall be like the four amigos. Amigas. How is Idaho? A nice break from the busy realms of utah I suppose. I am excited to see Dawson and his cheeks. Well here I am making fun of mom for leaving a long comment...
Loveeeee, (lovey, Love ye, Love, love)- kayla, Tammra, And Salisbury
I love you three!! I just started reading at Lisa and went down. I went from a little teary, to bawling like a baby to laughing my head off! And I am in a library too! In fact there are a lot of people probably wondering what the heck I am looking at!
I would love to do lunch or dinner with all of you. Thanks for everything you guys are so much support for me and I appreciate it so much. Lisa I can't seem to make shaving my legs quite as exciting as you can..I know you were nervous about me being upset about it but I wasn't I loved it and it made my night in the hospital and then my day when you came back and did it again.
Mom- I totally know what you mean about Dawson. There is something that I feel everytime I stand near him. He is amazing and heaven is definately where he is! My goal is to live worthy of being his mother. What a blessing they both are. My little Mallory....well I am sure that to say the least she will keep me on my toes and I can't wait! Please do me a favor and remind me that I said that when she is 2, 3, 4, 13, 16......well always I am sure!
Kayla--Hey looks like I am starting to write a book too! You are awesome and I love you dearly! There is a reason this sweet little girl of mine is named after you. Good luck with your new calling. I know that you will be great and learn so much from it. What a blessing!
Well I love you all and will see you on Friday!
Love, Amy
