Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible." (Luke 1:37)

Things have been busy at our house.  There has been lots of meetings with Gracie's team at a local elementary school for speech services, getting ready for the holidays, and of course for her post surgical follow up this month in Baltimore.  I have submitted all the paperwork to Miracle Flights for Children, and am anxiously waiting to hear if we get approved for airline tickets or not.  If we don't, we will be unable to make this appointment.  There was a last minute issue with some paperwork which may cause a problem, along with the fact we are traveling the week of Thanksgiving.  Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Since we are back in the swing of appointments, we are also back in the swing of fundraising.  We FINALLY have some options for t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies for sale.  Please remember ALL proceeds from the clothing, origami owl sales, and PayPal donations go directly to Gracie's continued care.  We will most likely be fundraising for a very long time, and actively for the next few years, as Gracie's first lengthening will be happening within 2 years.  This will be a 10-12 month process, will require 3-4 months in Baltimore, or travel back to Baltimore every 2 weeks, and multiple surgeries.  Please know we are so very grateful for all of your help!  CHECK OUT OUR FUNDRAISER TAB for sizes, styles and pricing!!!!

Gracie also turned 3 at the end of October.  I can not believe how big my baby girl is getting.  She amazes me.  I am beyond blessed by her and so proud words can't do it justice.  I made this video montage of her 1st three years, and despite having 6 surgeries, I'm happy to say there are more pics of her laughing, smiling and loving life, then hurting!  SO thankful for my faith.  It has been the ONLY thing that makes this bearable and has gotten us thru!

Enjoy the video!   God Bless!
