Couple of updates, Annie is not so little. She is 16lbs, 7 ounces. Humongo. With adorable chubby cheeks to prove it. We went back to her (ahem, AWESOME) pediatrician last week and, for the SECOND time, in three months, her lungs and breathing were clear (so..imagine how many times they have not been clear). What a blessing to face the holidays knowing that she is getting stronger every day. Yes, this year was and next year will certainly be hard. But Annie continually proves to us just how tough, loving, and joyful she is. I also need to stress the joyful part. This girl loves to laugh. Despite having a mask over her face (she breathes in her medicine), Annie always takes a moment to look up and smile at us. There is so much to learn from this little soul. Let's be honest, she has spent more days sick or struggling to breathe then she has healthy in these months that she has been with us. Yet, Annie does not count the days. If anyone lives in the light and love of those around her, it's Annie. God bless her and God bless all of you for the strength and love that you continually send us.
So, on to the family footage! Annie loves to pull Luke's hair. And Luke, who is one of the most compasstionate, caring people I know, happily offers up his hair to her!
BTW, the photo on top is a familiar sight around our house. When Annie is having trouble sleeping bc she is coughing so badly, she is somehow always able to sleep on Daddy's chest. I can't begin to count how many nights I have caught the two of them on the couch!
