Praying for Stellan

Baby Stellan is in the hospital and is in need of your prayers. You can read his story here.

They started a name gallery to let his family know how many people are praying for him. You can see his name gallery here.

Wordless Wednesdays

Getting a bath is the BEST part of her day.

Getting dressed is the WORST part of her day!

Lots of updates!

I have been slacking on my blog so here are all of Madison's updates!

She started eating rice cereal 2 weeks ago. She LOVES it. She is so ready for food but we have to wait another 2 weeks. Here are pics from her first rice cereal experience...

My health update: I haven't had a lot of Gallbladder issues so I rescheduled my surgery and I'm getting a second opinion. I have an appointment with another surgeon on Friday.

Congenital Heart Disease Awareness GIVE-A-WAY!

My blogging friend, Crystal is giving away 3 adorable hand made burp rags to help spread the word about Congenital Heart Disease. I have been praying daily for her adorable daughter Bentley. She has the same CHD as Madison. (TOF)

I miss her smile, her hugs and her daily phone calls.

I miss driving around singing RENT at the top of our lungs.

I miss our talks that could last all day.

I miss everything about her.

I miss my best friend.

When my daughter had open heart surgery the hole in her heart was fixed.

The hole in my heart from loosing my best friend can never be mended.

I just have peace in knowing that I will see her face again one day.
