Maddy's Heart Journey Photos

I finally updated her photo diary. I have 70+ pictures loaded & this is a work in progress so keeping checking back. I will slowly be working on adding comments to the photos also, so feel free to add your own comments if you wish. I hope to keep this photo diary as current as I can. I have a link to her photo diary in the blog roll to the right, or you can click here. Maddy's Heart Journey

It's about time!!!

OK, I've been slacking with posting pictures, so here you go. Enjoy!

Here is Maddy at 7 months, showing off how well her boo boo has healed.

Here is Maddy at 7.5 months with our pastor. We are so thankful to have him as a Pastor. The night she was born he came to the hospital at 2 am, and waited with us as they prepared to transport her. The day she had surgery he was there when we got to see her in recovery, after a 7 hour surgery.

Maddy at 9 months. Is that a mischievous grin or what?

Me & Tris getting ready to go for a snowmobile ride.




Lucky has a heart! I did not edit this photo, he actually has a perfect heart on his right side! There is a small white line of fur towards the left side, almost like a broken heart? How fitting that he found our family, we now have a heart baby & a heart kitty. Read about how we rescued Lucky after being hit by a car.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, we sure did. about 2 weeks ago Tris lost her 2nd tooth, so all she wanted for Christmas was her "Two Front Teeth" :) It's so cute!! She loved opening her presents & opening Maddys for her, what a good big sister. This year she is into Thomas the Train & My Little Ponies. Maddy enjoyed playing with the bows & wrapping paper as you can see in the picture.

May God bless everyone with a happy & healthy new year to come.

Cover Girls & Kittens - Oh My!

I am so excited. I work in an office that publishes a local weekly buyers guide. Quarterly we puslish a coupon book. The last to coupon book covers have featured some of my co-workers grand babies, well this time it's Tristyn's & Maddy's turn. The cover is so cute, our production department does an excellent job! The book has a distribution of about 32,000 houses & businesses, so this will be their 15 minutes of fame. I'd post a picture of the cover, but it's copy righted & I don't want to get in trouble. Here is the original picture before they did their magic of editing to it. They enhanced the color, zoomed in, and added some wording.

Lucky, came home this weekend. Our older cats, Jasper & Spunky were not too happy, but they are warming up. He is such a cutie & very playful. He has made a great recovery, he has a slight limp in his back hip, but that's all. Here is a pic.

Here are some photos of Maddy's Journey: The photos pretty much say it all.

These first 2 are the 1st pictures we have of Maddy. They were taken by the nurses and we were given polorids when she left so we would have something to hang on to,

This picture was taken after the stent was put in, you can really see the differance in her color, she is much pinker!

A few minutes after this was taken to get ready for surgery.

Here are some post surgery pictures
