Dedication

This weekend we dedicated Malachi to the Lord! It was a great time of honoring God and committing to raising Malachi to the standards of the Bible. Josh and I are truly blessed to be surrounded by great family and friends who were all there to support us! After the service our Pastor asked anyone who knew us to come to the front of the church to pray for Malachi's upcoming surgery! It was amazing. Here are some pictures that capture the love for Malachi and the group of people (just at our church) who have been praying for our little miracle!

Pictures are not working at the momment....I will post them later.

Twitter

I am excited to announce...Twitter updates can now be found on the left hand of your screen. I decided that this would be a GREAT way to do quick updates during our long stay at the hospital comming up at the end of the month. We are planning on doing a post a night, but twitter will keep ya updated thoughout the day! Wish me luck!

Are you serious?

well folks today it is -35 degrees out! Thats with the windchill. Whats the temp. going to be tonight, you ask? -21 WITHOUT THE WINDCHILL and -35 to -50 with the windchill. Please tell me again why I live in the midwest? Every school district in northern Illinois is closed today, and most likely tomorrow. This means my hubby is home! (I have a honey do list already made up for him tomorrow! I hope he doesn't read this) I think Im going to start looking into a vacation somewhere warm! I can't take all the snow and cold. Please send me somewhere I can defrost! I HATE the winter!

Evaluation

Peewee had his therapy evaluation today. He was in a GREAT mood, which made things a lot better. He ate wonderfully for the ST and cooperated the movement with the OT. They were surprised at how much he is doing given the circumstances of his first 4 months of life. Because he was 2 months preemie they evaluated him on 4 months vs. 6 months. He was evaluated at about 3 months. Only one month behind?? I was shocked that after all this little guy has been through he is really not that far behind!! Praise God for giving peewee the strength and strong will that he has!! We are soooo excited to get things started but we will have to wait until after his surgery! I know that he will thrive once it all gets started!!! Woo Hoo, great job peewee!!!

We are preparing for a HUGE party this weekend. We invited family/friends over to celebrate Malachi before his heart surgery. We are expecting 50-60 people! I dont know where im going to put everyone! We can't wait to pass out our "praying for Malachi" bracelets. Hopefully they will be a reminder to pray for him while he is in surgery and recovering from it!!

We are blessed and every day we find more and more things to be grateful for!!
