This Past Month…

Well, it has been quite a while!  Life with 2 little ones is extremely crazy…however, we are loving every second of it!  Here are some pictures…

Play Date at Michele’s House on May 5th!  This is Thian and Harper playing with Cole – not sure where Connor was – probably chasing the chickens Smile

On May 6th, my dear friend, Ann, threw a Shower for Jesus.  We have been praying very hard for a lot of people and she felt that we should shower Jesus with thanks for all that He has done for us.  So we filled up balloons and wrote the names of those whom we have prayed for.

This is Sweet Baby Hughes.  Some of you remember him from my request for prayers.  He was born with Hyperplastic Left Heart Syndrome (essentially, half a heart) and has already undergone about 2 open heart surgeries, the first at less than one month old.  He turned 1 on 5/1.  He is a true miracle.  This was the first time I got to meet Baby Hughes – whose nickname is also MOOSE Smile
