Saturday Kris and I drove down to the hospital to see Joel and Karla Willitts’ twin preemies — Zion and Mary. We spent a couple of hours and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
My first observation about Mary and Zion: everything is there — nose, ears, eyes, fingers, etc — but everything is miniature. Those are the littlest, cutest fingers I’ve ever seen. And I loved their ears!
Second observation: thank God for the world of science and medical care. The staff at the hospital knows everything going on with Zion and Mary.
We got to hold the babies — and Kris held little Zion for a long while. I finally mustered up the courage to hold him too. Karla had dibs on Mary for the day.
Here’s a pic of Joel and me standing over Zion, debating about whether he’ll be a shortstop, a second baseman, a pitcher, or a Pauline scholar! He’s got the fingers for a pitcher, so I think. (Joel is shamelessly pruning himself for tenure by wearing NPU gear.)
