Remembering

A year ago today, Blake was diagnosed with HLHS. They told us that we had two choices, submit him to three open heart surgeries before the age of 5, or let him go peacefully. In our family, we don't ever give up. I'm so glad we didn't. Who would have ever thought when we heard this news that a year later our little man would be enjoying this yummy plate of mac and cheese on his first birthday!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Blake, you have blessed us beyond anything we could have prayed for. We are so thankful to have you and your shining personality in our lives. Thank you for sharing your first year with us; we hope to have a lifetime more of happy memories.

It's official

Mason is officially my daughter. She has started to grab my shoes and
begin prancing around the house in them. I have to say, she's pretty
good at walking in heels! That's my girl!

Love these guys!

Start Walking, PLEASE!

*Apologies to those who follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter, this may be a bit redundant, but obviously very important to me.*

Tomorrow (April 8) is national Start Walking Day, sponsored by American Heart Association. Which means everyone should make an attempt to walk at least 30 minutes on most days.  Blake's heart can never be fully repaired, but you can protect your most precious gift, a healthy heart, simply by getting outside and walking.  

Desperate

It's opening day of the Astros and already Bryan is getting desperate. He asked Mason to use her magic wand to make the 'Stros good.
