My baby is 3 and I don't believe it. It was kinda an emotional day looking back and thinking about all his other birthdays.
His actual birthday was the greatest, my first baby and he was so perfect. The day turned out better than we thought it would be, he was doing well enough to come by my room so I could hold him.
His first birthday not the greatest but the day I got confirmation that he was going to make it through the RSV and get a heart transplant so that we would take him home!
He had a killer cake that year!!
His second, just a small party with cousins, you all know me and germies.
(Randi I can not find these pictures will you send them to me again!?!)
His third a great shindig with family and friends. Thanks to all who came it was a lot of fun and sorry we were packed in like sardines!! Spencer and I decided to get him a bike for his birthday. It is going to take some practice but I think he will get it eventually!
All the kids ready to party hearty. We had a killer game of pin the tail on the donkey.
That was followed up by a pinata. George wanted a horse one but I think he was kinda disturbed that we were hitting it. So Grandpa helped!
Hank and George checking out the loot!!
We had such a fun time at his party and we plan on celebrating many more in the future.

Hi Tarlett!!!

I usually hear an update on you from my mom when she gets her hair done, but it is great to see pictures! Your kids are darling! You can look at my blog if you want it is web.mac.com/stayce5.

Love you,
Jami

can I just say, that first picture of George is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Cute post! Your a great mom!
Ashlie, that is the sweetest post! George is a special little boy! I love how he and Lily get a long so well!
Sorry we missed the birthday party. Last Saturday turned out to be a crazy one and I am sad we missed out on all the fun!
That was a darling post...you are a good mom!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Georges husky, yet totally soft little voice...especially when he says OKAY to whatever it was he wanted to do like it was your idea in the first place!
Great party Ash.
Ashlie. I loved that. It gave me goosebumps after I finished reading it!! What a cute little boy and family!!
Ashlie won't tell anyone this...so I will! If you go to the American Heart Association home page you will see a wonderful story on George! He celebrated his "heart birthday" on the 12th of March. The AMA has spotlighted him on their web page, and we are delighted! It is a wonderful and uplifting story that we have all heard many times. (and lived through!) But being the proud grandma that I am, I can't hear it enough. As we celebrate the miracle of life that George has experienced...our hearts and thoughts are also aware of the precious gift that was given to us by another family whose lives were touched in a much different way during this time. We pray for and think of this dear family often. So if you get a chance, go to the AMA website and see our sweet boy, and also think of the courageous family that made this possible!
