Hi everyone. Well as many of you know I am very bad at this whole blogging thing. Sorry for the delay in pictures and updates.

I have finally figured out how to add Cora's link to my blog site. I know many of you learned about her heart wrenching story through Laura's link (The Moffats).

I know it is severely late, but better late then never. Cora has touched our lives beyond belief, as it has thousands of people. If you haven't had a chance to look at the link please do. We continue to pray for Jessica and Joel every day, and our heart goes out to them. God truly chose two beautiful people to care for his precious angel in the small time that she had on this earth. Her little life has touched so many. We hold each other closer than ever these days.

Our newest difficult news is that Ryan needs to go in for another open heart surgery, which you also may have read on Laura's site (My sister is the ultimate blogger!) This will be open heart surgery number 4. It will be in April or May, and I will try to keep everyone updated through this site. We are pretty upset over this upcoming trial, but ultimately trust God that he will bring Ryan through this with as little pain as possible. We continue to count our many blessings though, as God provides everything we could ever need.

Look Who's Walking!!

Sawyer had been taking 1 to 2 steps here and there but he officially made the jaunt and truly walked on New Year's Day 1-1-09. He was just 11 months old! Mom had the pleasure of taking the New Year's Day shift at the hospital and when she came home from a long day guess who walked right into her arms!! What a great start to the New Year.

A Few Christmas Pics

Well Christmas was fun but kind of crazy with an 11 month old! So we got very few pictures! Here are some though. Sawyer got this big stuffed dog from Aunt Laura and Uncle Michael that he loved. He was enamored with cousin Hunter's Elmo. He also got a fun activity center from nana and papa. Dad and mom got him a few trucks and big boy toys since he mostly had baby toys. Really wrapping paper and boxes went off as the biggest hit though!

Nearly 11 Months Old Now!

Sawyer will be 11 months in one week. He is growing so fast. He is a very busy boy crawling and cruising all over the house. He also has taken a few steps on his own in the last few days as well, and should be walking soon. As usual he is a happy boy. He is our beautiful blessing.
