Remember my post here about Christopher? He's the baby born on 11/30 who was waiting for a heart. Did you catch that? He was waiting. He's no longer waiting! He had a heart transplant yesterday!!!! We continue to pray for him and his family - including extended family - who love him dearly. We also pray for the donor family, who through unimaginable grief through the loss of their precious baby, gave this precious baby the gift of life.
I was going to try to do Project 365 again this year (a photo a day for an entire year) but decided I don't need the pressure. So, I flipped and will do a photo a week. That, I can handle. :) I thought I would share my photos for the first three weeks (my first week started December 27).
Four. Five. Six.
For 12 days - December 22 through January 2 - my girls are consecutive ages. I always try to get a photo of them together during this time. Sweet girls. Silly girls!
Week Two - January 3 through January 9, 2010 (you've seen this one already):
The Apple of my eye!
Love this boy like crazy. I'm trying to really enjoy him as he goes through each age and stage - because unless God intervenes, he'll be our last baby. He's such a precious little guy! The apple hat he's wearing is one my friend Kay crocheted from a pattern she designed for the Ravelry community (it's a social network of knitters and crocheters) and the outfit was my youngest nephew's when he was a little guy (Sam is almost 13). It has been bitterly cold here for the past couple of weeks and we needed to get out today to take dinner to our friends, the Schroeders, I knew this would keep Harrison warm and look cute, too. I know Elizabeth's birthday fell during this week (Jan 3); however, her party is next week and so I'll use her photo for next week!
Week Three - January 10 through January 16, 2010:
The Birthday Party Girl
Here is Elizabeth, ready for her birthday party. We had the party at my parents' house where we had a "make your own sundae" bar instead of birthday cake and ice cream. Elizabeth chose ivory (vanilla) bowls, chocolate brown napkins, and strawberry pink cups. We served vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and Neapolitan ice cream (just in case someone wanted all three in one scoop rather than a scoop of each), chocolate and strawberry syrups, caramel and cupcake "Magic Shell" topping, all sorts of sprinkles, white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, whipped cream and cherries. We also gave the girls the opportunity to have a root beer float instead (no takers...don't blame them...yech! Why ruin perfectly good ice cream with root beer?! Ick) - or an ice cream cone. Several girls ate the cones "on the side" with their sundaes. My wonderful nieces were there to help with the party, which was nice. Instead of bringing gifts to the birthday girl, we asked the girls who attended to bring a donation to the church library fund. We are going to order some children's books for our church library - probably some of these. It was a great day!

That's a great idea about the library fund! I'll have to remember that one. :)
