February 17


Most of the country celebrates Valentines “Heart” day on February 14, but here in our house Heart Day is February 17th. One year ago today we took our little girl in to have open-heart surgery. How amazing it is to look back and see how far she has come. That little heart of hers worked so hard to sustain her before her surgery, and so far it continues to thrive. We are so grateful for the amazing doctors and surgeons that did their part in keeping our little miracle here with us. So today we celebrated her "Heart-iversery" by wearing red and playing with some of her buddies.

Pictures stolen from Kristen, love that she labeled it with everyones names.

Wow just look how she's grown, I remember how tiny she was in the hospital and we were all waiting for the day when she'd be home! She has thrived so well and she is looking absolutely gorgeous!

And look at all that cutness all in one room, my God that is not fair I wish I was there. I recognise quite a few of them, didn't realised you guys lived close. Thats so great!
