Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Labor Day Weekend

We had such a busy, fun weekend! We headed down to Indy Friday evening after work where the fun all started. Saturday morning we woke up and started prepping for the big ND game! Stella was excited and ready!


Lacey and Jerome added a fun last minute twist to their little shin dig with a huge bouncy house! The kids loved it. Stella hung in there like a trooper even though she would fall every other step. As you can see below, by day 2 when she landed she would just kind of lay for awhile before getting up....it was so much fun!




Stella was all to eager to help out throughout the weekend

The weekend flew by and before we knew it was time for Stella's cardiology appointment on Tuesday. This was her first echo since the surgery and we were hoping for the best....and it happened! Stella's heart looked and sounded as normal as can be...what a relief. She has gained weight and her doctor was very pleased. She will continue to get echos and EKG's for the rest of her life but hopefully less and less often. There is a possibility of one membrane/obstruction growing back over time, so we continue to ask for your prayers that it doesn't! She has a few restrictions but everything keeps looking good we won't have to add to that list. Thank you all for the continuing prayers....they have definitely been answered.
