Mosh Posh!

A mix of things that have happened... as we enter the most exciting time of the year

with a little one...

  Christmas concert at school.. this year, Grace "walked" in with her teacher ..rather than sit in the wagon & be in it the whole concert.. & she sat on her teacher's lap...

She actually signed some of the song.. "You better watch out".. :)

  Grace with Christmas at an event!

Seeing the Christmas Tree for the first time... she LOVES it this year!!

Pacella Tree!!

  just giving some love!

And after a Warm December day of shopping.. Grace gets to go to the swing!!

She absolutely LOVES the swing!!

Thanks for reading!!

Love,

Happy homecoming day!

It's been 4 years that Grace has been home from the NICU! 

125 days was a long time back then.. she came home at 6lbs 4oz..

of course as a Preemie Mom, you remember weights & dates like this one.. 

it sure was a CELEBRATION!!

I remember exactly what she was wearing.. this newborn "Rock Princess" dress..

it was a 4 hour drive home..(I drove!). with her pulse ox & 02.. I remember it was a nice drive home!

There she was!!

And today has been a great day.. it's been a great 4 years with Grace..

& as every day passes, she's getting stronger, more loveable & beautiful!

This week, finally, Grace started weekly feeding therapy.. it must be already working..

today she 'bit' & swallowed 3 veggie sticks.. with every swallow I applauded & gave

her a 'good job high five'.. she was so proud of herself too!!

It's working & all starting to come together..

  and here she is 4 years later...  telling her Mama to be quiet!

This week at her speech therapy..  sitting up like a big girl..

She has come soo far!! I think the Christmas Season is going to be tougher this year with the tree & lights..

she's already touching the tree!

Thanks for reading about us for 4 years!! 

couldn't do it without all of you.. 

'it takes a village'.. silent prayers are the best!

love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell
