Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She was on dialysis since she was 3 months old and for much of that time, did dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She receive a much needed kidney / liver transplant on December 18, 2009. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants.

SO CUTE!!!
Looks like 3 great kids to me.
I had to look twice at Claire and Mabel. You tricked us by dressing them in the same outfit.
Children do grow up fast. I can remember when Natalie turned one year old and when she was beginning to walk. It seemed like only yesterday.
