    Today has finally arrived, asking for prayers

    So happy to hear this! I couldn't believe what a different child my Maddy was after her third surgery. And she was SO pink! She went from oxygent sats of 79% before surgery to 96-100% after! She is now almost 8 years post her last surgery (Fontan) and still has sats in the normal range. It...

    Today has finally arrived, asking for prayers

    Sounds like Blake is making huge strides in the right direction! I know getting chest tubes out probably made him feel better. Those things are nasty! Continued prayers for Blake and I can't wait to come back and read that he's home with his family! Hugs and Prayers, Barbara

    Today has finally arrived, asking for prayers

    I have not checked in here for months - but so glad I logged on today to see that Blake is making strides! He is strong and I know he will continue to improve. We will be praying for him! Pink is a wonderful color after seeing them be "blue" for three years! I remember that day well. I...

    Need your help on a project and

    What a great idea! And February 7-14 is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week, too! What better way to raise awareness than to celebrate the lives of these two heart warriors. I will get cards in the mail (hopefully they get there as I am late seeing this) and we will definitely be praying...

    Husbands, Lets show appreciation

    Love this thread! My hubby is an amazing husband and father. I am so blessed! He is always willing to step in and help. Even though the horses aren't "his thing" he is always there to help with the heavy lifting - building fences, making barn repairs, stacking hay. He is a great "horse...

    PLEASE? Pretty please????

    I'm a little late playing, but here is our tree and our table set for Christmas dinner. And one a little closer up - our two daughters and our fur kids. Bella is a schnauzer mix. Copper is the Boston Terrier. He's not really ours, we're just "fostering" him while his family is living in...

    Failing Weight Loss

    Definitely stress for me! Food is my addiction - I don't smoke or drink, but I like to eat! I'm an emotional eater - I eat when I'm happy, sad, angry, bored, tired - you get the picture! I love to cook, and I love to eat out. I will be 39 this year and I feel like I have "wasted" a decade...

    Lazy Eye?

    My experience with many children is that typically it is just that the muscles in one eye are weaker than the muscles in the other. Very often, those muscles can be strengthened by covering the "good" eye, so that the child has to use the "weaker" eye and those muscles grow stronger. There can...

    Post your favorite Christmas songs by which artist

    This is my new favorite video to go with the first song you posted. "Mary Did You Know" is my favorite Christmas song. This version is sung by Ceelo Green. The video is footage from The Bible miniseries which is supposed to premier on The History Channel in March. It is a beautiful video!

    terrible tradegy unfolding -school shooting in Connecticut

    My heart is breaking - as a parent and a teacher. Todd and I were just talking about this and he shared something I didn't know. He said, "I keep Olivia's old ball bat in my classroom. The kids ask me about it, and I tell them, if anyone tries to get in here to hurt anyone, they will have to...

    Black Friday Shoppers

    We went out yesterday to the Eddie Bauer warehouse that is close to us. They normally have 50-60% off of their stock (which is good, because Eddie Bauer is pricey!) but yesterday you could also take 40% off your total order. We shop there because they typically have pants for tall guys and my...

    Do any of you do the "Black Friday" thing?

    Todd and I usually hit up Walmart and Kohls, sometimes Target and the Eddie Bauer warehouse that is close to us as they have fabulous deals. Usually there are just one or two things in there that we are looking for specifically. We run in, grab them and run back out! I wouldn't do it without...

    Slow Cooker Recipes

    Jill - we had a potluck yesterday at school and I used your mac and cheese recipe. It was a hit and was the first thing gone! Thanks for sharing! I've got the broccoli cheese soup recipe on the menu for Saturday. I can't wait! Barbara
