Our New Show on TLC

We just wanted to give you the details about the show we were involved in that will be airing on Sunday, November 15th.  It will be on at 9 p.m. Eastern time (8 Central), and it is called Conjoined Twins After Separation.  There are two other sets of formerly conjoined twins who were involved, and it should be absolutely fantastic.  We have not had the opportunity to see it yet, so we will be watching it for the first time with all of you.  You'll have to let us know what you think.  You can see the little card we sent out as a reminder over on our other site


If that wasn't exciting enough, we have something even bigger coming up!  Erin's service dog, SOLOMON, will be graduating from his training program very soon!!!  That's all Erin can talk about, and she is literally counting down the days until we see him again!  It's soooo cute!  Even though we won't have him with us full time until right before Christmas, this is a gigantic step for him and for us.  We will start working with him often, and he will start staying with us for short visits soon after Thanksgiving.  We can't wait!!!! 


I posted photos from our latest trip to Kennedy Krieger on our Faith, Hope and Joy blog, and while the videos of Erin are still better, I have to say that the pics are pretty cute.  We were able to meet Miss Maryland during therapy one day, and she even let all three girls try on her crown.  I guess you know who we will be cheering for in January during the Miss America pageant!


I will post more new photos soon.  I have so many on my computer, and it really is difficult finding time to edit them and pick the right ones.  I'll work on it.


I'm home with Jade today.  She has had a fever for the past few days, and she's STILL coughing.  I think it's been over 2 months now.  Crazy!  Believe me, we have taken her to the doc numerous times, and it's just a virus.  Oh, so frustrating!  Anyway, hopefully she'll get better soon.


We hope you're having a great week!  Don't forget about Sunday!

I am watching TLC right now but unfortunately missed your show. (its 1045pm Pacific time) While watching TLC I was inspired to see more about conjoined twins, and stumbled across your page. I think it has giving me inspiration in raising my family, as a single mother I struggle. But I am so greatful to have healthy children. Thank you for sharing your story with me and helping me and my children understand about conjoined twins!! I hope all is well with your family and you are a true inspiration to mine!

Hi ! Hope all is well ! I did see most of the documentary. It was inspiring seeing Erin walking and exercising and playing, all with such determination. What a great character she has ! The other two families' stories were interesting too. I had not heard of the boys, but had read about the girls years ago- funny how different they are ! It was a well-done doc. Nice to see an update on your family on TV smile

I watched the show last night! I was so glad I caught it. It aired at 8Pm and then again at 10....I read about it on Herrintwins Facebook page and turned right to TLC to catch the end of the Herrins (which I have seen before) and then watched yours and the Hansel girls! Great shows! Very inspiring!
