Family & friends are so special to us! A good friend of my family, Suzanne raised over $500 for the Children's Heart Foundation in honor of Sydnie. The school she works at participated in Casual for a Cause. Each staff member paid $20 to wear jeans through out the school year. Thanks Suzanne! It sure is going to a great cause.

The following are blogs that I follow and certainly are HeartFelt! Each one shares strength and hope... and lots of laughter!
Gracie's Adventure - Gracie has Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS), Pulmonary Atresia with IVS, and Coronary Sinusoids. Her mom Jen has a great way of sharing her Adventures and always has amazing pictures!
Hailey's Journey - Hailey is having her Glenn today and her Tricuspid Valve replaced with a mechanical valve! They are very scared today and could use some encouraging words. Pray for Hailey!
Heroic Chronicles of a Micro Preemie - Hunter was born at 24 weeks gestation at 1 pound and 12 ounces and was only 12 inches long. Renee, Hunter's mom, does a great job of spreading the awareness about Micro Preemies! In her posts she shows so much strength and hope! Not to mention I've been friends with her since she was 4 and I was 5.
Life with Sam - I've followed Sam's stories from the time he was snug and comfy in his mommy's tummy. Kathy, Sam's mom, does a great job of sharing Sam's journey. Her post's are insightful and very fun to read.
There are many more... but too little time! I'll have to add more soon in the future!
Life in "Sydnie" land is going well! Sydnie and her sister are a blast to have around! So many times through out the day I wish I was not the only one here with the girls... I wish someone else was here with me so that I wasn't the only one hearing the funny things my girls say!!! I spend so much of my day laughing because of the silly things my girls say! Today after Sydnie woke from her nap she stood at her gate singing her version of "Happy Birthday" while holding an anatomically correct plastic cow, with udders and all! When she finished singing she blew on the cows belly.. so I asked her why did that and she said, "to bwoo out the candews momma"!!! Confused, I asked her to show me the candles and she pointed to the cows boobies, it's udder!!! So funny! I love it!
We're still working on going to the potty! Syd is a Champ at going #1 but we struggle with making it to the potty for #2! We'll get there!
Charlie is done with school until Dec.1st. She's so excited. She told me that she so happy because she can watch Tom and Jerry with out having to stop and go to school! She loves tv. That scares me... I don't want her to watch too much! She loves any type of story... book or tv. I'm hoping once she learns to read she'll pick up a book more often than the remote! I hope!!!
We're all looking forward to ThanksGiving! We would like to wish you all a safe an Happy ThanksGiving!!!
Hugs,
The Sydnie Team
