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.

A HAPPY new year

Happy New Year to all our friends and family.
I am sitting in our new home enjoying the view of a winter wonderland that fell on Atlanta earlier this week, amazed that there is still snow and ice on the ground. Although we've enjoyed playing in the snow...and looking at it out the window, I think we're ready for it to melt enough to get back into our normal routine!

It seems like the Christmas season flew by...as usual. And while we stayed busy, we were blessed with some quality time with our friends and family.
Holden was completely into Christmas this year...especially after his visit to Santa to share his wish list! He helped put out cookies and milk and tried to resist falling asleep so he could hear and see Santa when he arrived! He was so excited in the morning to see what Santa had left for him!





Holden continues to do well completely off his oxygen. We did a sleep study over the holidays and are anxious to see if the results prove that he no longer needs the O2. And the sores on his face seem to be healing...very slowly...but definitely going in the right direction!
I know I tend to be pretty sappy in my blogs, but I honestly feel so blessed. I guess when you spend time in a very dark place, you can't help but feel lucky when things are going good! I pray that 2011 brings us continued good fortune, love and most importantly...good health!!
