Time to move on...

I decided it was time to move on to bigger and better, that is for web pages. Welcome to my new site for updates on my girls! This will allow me to have more pictures, therefore, making me a very happy Mommy. So let's get started on those new pics - why waste time to show off my beauties?!?!


This is Miss Riley, age 5 1/2, on her 2nd day of kindergarten. Check out her hair! It only lasted half the day, but it was fun for Mommy to do in the morning. This summer Riley mastered swimming without her life jacket. She can now swim down to the bottom of a 9-foot deep pool, too! That makes Mommy's heart skip a few beats! She'll be taking swimming lessons this fall at our YMCA to perfect her skills a bit more. I see a swim team for her in the future...

Here is our little Shelby. Well, she's not so little anymore! Look at those legs she grew this summer! Those are some strong and fast legs, trust me. She keeps them moving all the time! Liver-wise things are going good for her. She was taken off the waiting list in June. This does not change the fact that she still has a terribly diseased liver. Biliary Atresia is a progressive disease - so there continues to be damage done to her liver even though she is thriving right now. Mind boggling, isn't it?!? For those of you who know Shelby, you wouldn't never guess that she has such an awful disease...but, she does. We are thrilled that she is not on the waiting list anymore, but at the same time we know how quickly things can change with pediatric liver disease. Very quickly. Like overnight quickly. Please continue to hold her in your prayers.


Oh, and for those of you who don't know us or haven't seen us in a while, here we are - the proud parents. This was taken at the Pirates over 40 (Jimmy Buffett cover band) benefit for Shelby earlier in the summer.

Take care and thanks for checking in!
