Our weekend loaded with grace, love and celebration!


Good Friday - Kendall turned ONE - EASTER!
Our weekend was loaded with grace, appreciation, sacrifice, love and celebration!

Good Friday: HE DIED FOR ME

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

Good Friday, is the day we commemorated Jesus' death on the cross. This year to teach Mason that Easter / Good Friday is not about the bunny but IS about the sacrifice on the cross my children and I put a visual reminder on our palms for the day.


Jesus died for us and YOU!

KENDALL GRACE IS ONE!!!!

I am kind of at a loss for words... How did a year go by already? How can it be that this sweet little thing below is now a ONE YEAR OLD?

It feels like yesterday that we were taking her home from the hospital...




Fast forward a year and Kendall is into EVERYTHING!
She walks, talks, has a STRONG opinion (where does she get that?), is a Daddies girl, loves her brother and even at one shows so much compassion for others! We are so blessed to call her ours!


So now it begins. Thank you to Auntie Lyanne; Kendall is in love with her first baby girl (named Dolly - by Mason). 
I knew shopping for dolls would be in my future just not so early!



You can always count on my Auntie to get the party started



EASTER
He has risen!

 JESUS is Easter... but they are only little once so we like to keep the magic alive!

10 Years....

Mason, It is amazing how time passes by in the blink of an eye after you have kids…. It seems like just yesterday, yet this week, 10 years have passed since our life was turned upside down. The day our world took a turn we never saw coming. Each year leading up to the anniversary, I get anxious, emotional, sad, scared, and angry. I WISH 10 years later I felt differently. But I don’t. It almost feels just as raw as the day we were told…. This year. I am consciously recognizing what it is… MONDAY FEBRUARY 11 th ,2008. We sat in a room where a Doctor carefully articulated and explained to us about your special heart. There is one detail about this day I have seemed to forget in time. That is the name of the doctor who told us about our fate…. I could describe to you in details about anything else you might want to know, who was there, what we were wearing, what the Doctor himself looked like and the conversation we had. Yet his name, which used to be

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Update 7/1

Mason is out of surgery!! Kelsey and I finally got some good news. Dr. McMullen told us the surgery went as expected with no surprises. He told us Mason's heart is "vigorous" and is doing well. Hearing that word was like music to my ears. We have not been able to see him yet, but we know it will be a tough sight to see. However, we are so thankful that God has kept His hand on our little boy and got him through the first step. The next 24-48 hours will be critical for Mason as he is still at risk for several issues to arise. We will keep you posted on his progress. Praise God for His protection on our son. Greg & Kelsey
