My godmother Arlene and I spent a lot of time together when I was younger. She sadly passed away when I was in high school. Layla carries her name as her middle name. As soon as we got home from the hospital I planted a yellow rose bush outside of Layla's window (they were her favorite). Now Layla always looks for yellow roses everywhere we go. So imagine our surprise when a pack of earrings I got her for Christmas happened to have a pair of yellow rose earrings in them. I bought them online and didn't even look at what was really in them. Layla picked them out right away and said it was so nice of her to come visit our house on Christmas 😭. Shes already wearing them, and I have a feeling will be for quite some time

What a busy day! We baked cookies, then got the house picked up for Aj's friend Brandon to come over. We hung out with him and the kids opened presents. Then we decorated our cookies. Ate some supper, and then sat down to a Christmas movie before bed. Followed by getting Santa's tray ready. Now hopefully an early bedtime, and more fun tomorrow 🎄🎅🎁

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

The other week the flu hit our house. It hit the babies the hardest, and the proof of that is my poor ring. I used my carpet and handheld shampooers so much that my ring on my right hand got bent 🫣. I'm hoping my dad can bend it back to its original shape, because AJ gave me this ring when we were first dating.

3 years ago today this tough cookie spent his day in the OR having open heart surgery. As always, we celebrated with a heart pizza thanks to my sister in law at Jack's pizza.. and big brother who made it while working tonight 😉.
We spent the evening celebrating Boston, and doing whatever he wanted to do. It was lots of playdoh, and some of my least favorite shows on YouTube that I say no to sometimes.
You look at this sweet face and see a normal toddler. But I look at this face and see a fighter, who's endured more in 3 years than most people in a lifetime. CHD life is tough, but not as tough as Boston is ❤️🩵

Yesterday Layla was in Cincinnati for her monthly labs. Another organization, who's mission is to distribute American girl dolls to cancer patients, sent us 25 dolls to bring to Cincinnati. Hopefully these help bring a little joy to patients spending the holidays in the hospital. I love seeing Laylas love of giving back to her home away from home ♥️

If everyone could please say a prayer today for one of our heart babe friends Clem, who is having her third open heart surgery today. Surgery days are long, agonizing days. But Clem has the same surgeon as Boston, so I know she's in good hands.

A huge thank you to Sarah and the stitchers group she is a part of for all of these beautiful hand made items. When we took them out of the bag, each one was more beautiful than the next! I can't get over how awesome these look. I'm sure they will make some kiddos very happy, and nice and cozy.
