We are so Blessed!

Christmas...

Can't wait to celebrate our first "Family Christmas"!

On the move...

Our sweet little 9 month old has learned how to crawl....

Watch out Winnie Kitty!

Sorry Mia Grace... Once she wakes up... she is too fast for you! (For Now) :)

God is good....

Hi Family and Friends!

We received WONDERFUL news from Mia's neurologist on the 16th that is a HUGE answer to prayers. Her most recent EEG came back clear which means there is no more seizure and or/seizure like activity occurring in her brain! We get to wean her off the anti-seizure medicine now and hopefully this will be end of that struggle in her little life. We will continue to watch and follow up with the neurologist but this is a wonderful step in the right direction. Thank you all for your prayers and support throughout this journey of ours!

We love you!
Jennie, Daniel and Mia Grace

6 months..

6 months ago the most precious miracle occurred and my life was forever changed.

6 months ago I learned what it meant to watch your heart beat outside your body.

6 months ago my heart grew bigger than I ever imagined possible.

6 months ago "Grace" became more real to me.

6 months ago fear became scarier than ever before.

6 months ago I realized how little the small stuff really matters.

6 months ago my beautiful daughter arrived and I am forever changed.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Mia Grace

Baby Gymnastics...

You figure it out :) She cracks me up!

5 months and full of cuteness....

How can you not love this face?

Wonderful husband of mine...

I am reminded more and more each day how blessed I am to have a husband who has the heart to stay home and take care of our precious Mia. There are not many men out there who are both willing and fully capable and he is both. 

As I watch him care for Mia each day my love for him grows deeper and stronger. I know I don't tell him or show him enough but I feel it. 

He truly exemplifies the love of Christ expressed through his servant heart.

Thank you Daniel.

My sweet girl...

She is growing so fast!

Melting hearts....

Mia has been behind in the smile department....

She is FINALLY starting to melt us with smiles (albeit few and far between). I do this thing with her where I take a deep loud breath and then blow a raspberry and she loves it! That's when she smiles.... :) Here is one I caught the tale end of!

Pause...

I am terrible at this... I am making it a mission to find time (maybe on lunch at work) to try and blog. When I get home my time right now is devoted to miss mia and her precious self!

Check out the daddy and Mia pictures!

love you...

Coming back to this...

I will start posting again.... I am enjoying every precious moment I have left before I have to go back to work...

That sound...

Who would have guessed I would ever come to lactate at the sound of poop? HA!

Tired...

It is amazing to me how one can function on such little sleep. Mia had a tough couple of days (as did I). I think it was a combination of the following:

1) Mom has a cold

2) Mia has a slight cold

3) Mia has her days and nights mixed up

4) Mia has gas ALL the time which really makes her little life difficult

5) Due to above mentioned Gas, Mia has a penchant for chomping thus making mommy miserable! It only takes one or two chomps to set us back days of healing! 

Despite all of this, the joy I feel when I look at this sweet sleeping face makes it all melt away....

 I guess that answers my own question of how one functions on such little sleep.

A poignant outing...

I took Mia to visit the teachers at Daniel's school today. They have been extremely gracious to us throughout this whole journey and we wanted them to be able to see her sweet self in person. It was FREEZING (literally) outside though and I sure was not prepared for that. It was a true joy to share our blessing with so many faithful prayer warriors. What touched my heart the most was when one of the first grade teachers came up to see us and told me that her class has prayed for Mia everyday. She let me know that if she forgot to mention Mia the kids would say "Don't forget baby Mia and Mr Daniel and Mrs Jennie". What an inspiration and a reminder of what an incredible God we serve where the mouths of babes are so faithful. 

Mia and Mommy

I am starting an album of daily photos with Mia taken on our Photo Booth....

Here is yesterday's which was fitting of her eating frenzy....

Our First Walk

Mia getting ready for her first walk...

I took Mia out for her first walk today. It was so nice to do something a little normal for once. :) 

Relaxing...
