Samuel Davenport runs his family's New York based advertising agency. His brother, Adam, runs from responsibility and anything remotely boring. And his temp, Haley, runs so she'll never be caught and hurt again. She moved to the city New Year's Day to hide and recover, to build a new life far from her past.

Sometimes the life you planned isn't the one you get to live. Sometimes the pain of the past overshadows the future. And sometimes to start over you have to go back to where it all began.

Kenna was born January 9, 2012, weighing in at a meager 9.6 ounces. She was born 16 weeks too soon. After spending 183 days riding the roller coaster in Club NICU, she is finally home. This is our story of hope, finding happiness in unlikely places, and making the best of the life we have.

Where one story ends, often another begins. For some reason, Adam Davenport can't see past the ending. The hit and run has forced him to slow down and stop running from the pain of losing his parents. He has tried to hide behind meaningless, superficial relationships and even more shallow friendships, but the time has come to face his loneliness. Now he is finally ready to start being a family with his brother Sam.

It was a year of challenges big and small, health concerns that had us rushing to the Pediatric ER, another surgery, therapies, doctor's appointments, and a list of goals that Kenna is achieving. If the 183 day hospital stay was about finding happiness in unexpected places and making the best of the life we had, this year was about finding balance, rearranging our priorities, and adjusting our attitudes so that we could enjoy life with the gift we had been given.
