WOW! An Award!

I am completely humbled that Karin over at HennHouse has nominated little ol' me for a blogging award!

Karin writes beautifully, she loves her family fiercely, and she is very real with the struggles and joys of raising her children. Although I may never have the privilege of meeting her in person, she has been such a wonderful support to me through her comments on my blog.

Please visit her blog- I know you will be as blessed as I have been!

I have the pleasure of nominating 5 bloggers for this award as well:

But first here are the rules:
1. Choose five blogs that you consider deserving of this award.
2. Name the author and include a link to his/her blog.
3. Show the award and put the name and link of the blog that presented you the award.
4. Show the link blog of the origin of this award.
5. Show these rules

1) Audrey at the Brown Brigade is a wonderful friend who shares the understanding of raising children with issues.  I don't have to explain- she gets it. She is  also so much fun,  she is caring and  so supportive of us.  She  has 5 beautiful children that I love!

2) Aimee at Popaskulls, Gollillas and I-YOP is witty, witty witty! She has me laughing out loud at the antics of her 4 amazing children. She also is a close personal friend, and although she had never heard of attachment issues, or any of Gianna's medical issues, she has jumped into our lives with both feet.

3)   Rebecca is a new mommy to beautiful Sophia, is waiting for Claire from China, and she has made it her mission to make a difference in global poverty. She has provoked me to do more, to give more, to make a difference no matter how small it may seem. 
Go check out her blog at La Dolce Vita.

4) Amy at When Love Takes You In is a loving, caring, true person. She is waiting for her first child from China, and she finds JOY in the lessons she has learned during the excruciatingly long wait. She also reaches out weekly to pray for needs in the blogging community. 
She is a gem!

5) Cheri at Loving Lia is a fellow adoptive mommy who has 4 kids, one of which is a special needs child. She is one of those people who you  can connect with right away. We are walking a similar road with our children, and she shares the highs and lows truthfully and eloquently.
I was so hoping she would move to my neck of the woods, but God had other plans!

I hope you take time to visit all these wonderful people!

How Can It BE??

It's been almost a year since I've posted and for some strange reason, I found a few extra minutes in my day( crazy, huh?) and thought I would catch-up the TWO WHOLE people who might still be checking in now and then. On May 11, 2014 our world was changed in the sweetest way with the birth of our granddaughter. And GUESS WHAT?!? All those stupid , ahem , quippy things said by grandparents everywhere, are, in fact, TRUE! She is the sweetest, smartest little treasure EVER and I would definitely have been a grandma first if I knew how amazing this is. (Sorry, kids.) And we have the privilege of having her 1-2 days per week, which makes this MiMi blissfully happy but also a tad busy. She is now 10 months old, and can tell you what an elephant and a lion says. She is determined to grow up as quickly as she possibly can, and plans to start walking yesterday. She is a GO-GETTER and is on the move. Having her weekly is such a precious gift. I love it that my grown kiddo...

The Blessinngs of the Lord make rich...

 Matching PJs and ready for bed. Aren't they adorable?  My and ALL FOUR of my daughters. My cup really runs over!!  Gianna and Celia. I am glad that we prepared ourselves for CP. She is only hypontic in her neck, but she is spastic in her arms, so she is resourseful and uses her feet to grab toys you hold up for her. She is happy, smiley, and sweet as sugar. I am not upset so understand I am saying this as more matter of fact, but she is like a 6 month old in every way. I pray for her sake that some good therapy and nutrition will help her tremendously. She is definitely on the more severe end of CP. We are not shocked, in fact I really expected this end of the spectrum. Please don't feel "sorry" for us or her. She is a blessing and we are privileged to be called to such a child.  Right after we got back to  the hotel room. Sofia only wants ME or Aria. Or she is crying pretty hysterically. We don't mind- at least I have some one to take turns with if I need ...

Oh what a difference 24 hours makes.

This morning, the PICU nurse announced that we would be moving to the floor today.  I argued with her. I begged. I offered lunch and dinner for the whole PICU staff if they would keep us just one more night.  You see,I spent last night pressing her morphine button every 30 minutes all night long. The nurse came in every hour. She had to check her THREE IVs. Her chest tube that was draining a tremendous amount of blood. Her pain was hard to manage. Her heart rate elevating was our biggest clue, because she never complained. She had a high level of oxygen needed to keep her stats up.  I liked the comfort of knowing that we had one nurse, right outside the door, whose only job all night long was to monitor Gianna and fix every problem as it arose. The nurse laughed and said, "Don't worry she'll be ready. Oh, and she needs to get up and walk today..." What?!??!? It has been LESS than 24 hours since she had major surgery. And then the flurry started. Xrays were taken. Thre...
