Temporarily ooc

We received these in the mail today...

How did they know we are all sick, and unable to begin the Christmas chaos of shopping?  Did they notice we were missing from the mall?  (uhm hello...why this is upside down, I do not know?)

I have so many little projects I wanted to work on/and post but alas...

these have been our best friends and activities for the last week.   I am feeling slightly better today, but Saralain is very coughy now.  It is so hard to have a sick child...and really hard having a sick child who can't tell you what is wrong :(

Here is a snippet of the progress we have made.

Hubby put up the tree for Thanksgiving...

and this is all the further it has gotten...

How sad is that?

Hopefully we are all on the mend now and I will have to race like a Earnhardt (now there is a clue to upcoming posts...) to get ready for Christmas and create some posts.  I have a Cookie exchange/Christmas movie night this coming week with my wonderful girlfriends...any suggestions on good GF cookies are welcome. 

Stay tuned...when we return, we have a little give-away planned.  For now, I'm off to peruse my magazines and order some gifts on-line.

As usual, I am a little late for National Preemie awareness day, but I have made it in before the end of Preemie Awareness month so I hope it still counts. Everyone who knows me should be used to this, isn't it part of my charm...lol?

Better late than never, right? Perhaps Saralain should have subscribed to that theory, as well. But as everyone who knows us is aware, she did not! Our precious little girl was in such a hurry to join the world that she came to us at 24w5d. Thus beginning a very amazing journey which we will never forget...

Sara's Birth-day. (June 12 - 1lb 7oz)

First time I was able to hold her - 2mnths 5 days old.

 

Six Months later...with Gods blessing and the help of some FABULOUS medical staff (some of those Angels pictured above) we brought Sara home. 

To all the parents going through, what seems like the trial of a lifetime,  prayers are powerful and dreams can come true!  Hang in there, better days are on the way....

Here is our beautiful girl today... 

And have I mentioned what a "huggie-kissie little sweetheart she is"? 

 

Thank you for taking time to read Saralain's story and please support March of Dimes.
