It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Snow Day for Holden

Look Mommy, the sky is falling!!

Holden saw snow for the first time today. We mostly watched it from the warmth of our house, but eventually, we got bundled up and headed outside. He was fascinated by the fluffy wet stuff that kept landing on his face. He would turn and look at me, smile and then look back up at the sky.

He touched the snow and didn't seem at all phased by how cold and wet it was.


It has been so great to see what an easygoing baby Holden is when he's feeling well. It amazes me how well he deals with new experiences. He loves getting out - anyplace other than the doctors office or hospital. This week we went for a walk at Stone Mountain Park. We must have walked 3-4 miles (well he rode in his little car) and he did great! Other than the same 2 teeth that seem to be taking their time cutting, Holden continues to do well.

He has become so active and loves to play with his toys, read books and ride in his little red car. It has been great to see him feeling so well. I pray this becomes the norm and the icky days are few and far between.
