Prayer Request

Please keep Noah and Julie Roberts in your prayers. I was very saddned to here their daughter Magdalena passed away this morning. Magdalena was born in August with condition called Trisomy 18. Most babies born with this do not make it but for a few hours. She was a very strong baby and touched the lives of so many during her short life. The family was scheduled to speak at our March for Babies Luncheon this Thursday as our 2009 ambassador family. Last Spring Julie joined March of Dimes March for Babies after discovering at a routine visit that Magdalena was high risk and raised over $3000. Her team has raised over $800 this season so far and supports our mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Two of which she as experienced. You can read the story of this amazing little girl at http://www.noahandjulieroberts.blogspot.com/

Christmas Update

Christmas has come and gone...again! Grant was alot of fun this year really begining to understand what happens durning the Christmas season. While it was fun telling him all about Santa Claus and finding out what toys he wanted this year...it was also fun begining our own tradition of celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus by purchasing a birthday cake for Jesus. We enjoyed the birthday cake after dinner on Christmas eve and again Christmas day...

I spent several days at my parents after Christmas while Mark was working/hunting...During my visit I got to see several friends from High School that I have not seen in a while and experience my first taste of Food Poisioning....from the mexican place in Greenville. My stomach is still a little queezy so don't ask me to eat mexican for a long long time. I am glad to be home.....and Grant is enjoying all his Christmas toys...

Happy New Year!!!
