Our life with an extra chromosome....

November 10, 2008


2 years ago this little boy

had a 6 hour open heart surgery.

Every year around this date, we gather with the people who were with us during that time and have an intimate dinner and celebration of this little boy, of his little "whole" heart.




A sweet banner Grammi made!

Pabu came inside wearing a heart balloon for Griffin!


A mommy token this year.


I made this for fun.
Playing with the dishwasher has been a favorite of Griffin's for a while. The first one is from a year ago when he would pull that bottom rack out and push it back in over and over again. The second picture is from the other day, when for the first time instead of his usual play position, he stood up at it! I had to snap a photo because I knew I had a photo of the other and this was a big deal!

Beautiful banner Melanie! I love it and wish I knew how to make one as pretty as yours.

Namaste, Nicole

Oh I didn't make it Nicole. His Grammi did, my mother in law. She is super talented with paper crafting, making cards and banners, etc. If I had made it, it would not have looked that good! Thank you though!
