Much like the last 9+ months, these last few weeks have flown by. We did not get Christmas cards out this year, but we wanted to reach out to our blog reading friends to say Merry Christmas, we love you all, and appreciate that you have stood by us and supported us this year.
We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, and your friendship is at the top of the list!
Tomorrow we will be singing happy birthday to baby Jesus, and we will be saying prayers of thanks for all that we have been given this year. An amazingly strong and beautiful baby boy, medical professionals that we absolutely love and cherish, miracle after miracle after miracle, the support of family and friends both old and new, as well we are witnessing Isla become a compassionate, loving, brave and patient little girl and big sister.
May you have a wonderful, safe and joyous holiday.
Love and heart strings from the Ortyls,
Greg, Becky, Isla and Oakes

Greg was at the hospital all day on Friday and saw Oakes on one of his best days. He took a video and posted it in YouTube immediately so Isla and I could take a peak. We both sat at her little table and just giggled along side Greg and Oakes.
Kisses for Oakes. And here was Oakes today....
...Puckering...
...and kissing!
Oakes has moved from the open mouth smile to this new more sophisticated big boy smile. Would you look at those little piranha teeth!?
Great video!! Much love <3
