A Week of Thanks

I am so into the Thanksgiving spirit and I figured I would put it to good use by taking a little bit each day to share what I am thankful for this year - assuming that it's a given first and foremost that we are most thankful that Olivia is here with us thriving. 

Today I am thankful for organizations like the Ronald McDonald house that allowed us to stay near Hope for the month that Olivia was hospitalized after her Norwood.  They fed us, wanted to take care of us and make overall life easier. The majority of the people there are volunteers that take time away from their friends and families to try and help out perfect strangers in some of the worst possible situations.  As unfortunate is to find yourself needing to rely on such a place, they make it the most pleasant experience it could be for a family in need.

  2. Hi Lisa, Brian, and Miss Olivia!
    As we are getting home and getting settled, we have been reflecting on all that has happened in our lives in such a short time. We cannot even begin to imagine what this roller coaster would be like without the loving support of our heart families..our wonderful new friends! We feel so blessed to have met your family and continue to be inspired by Olivia's strength and your courage. Thank you does not even begin to express how deeply grateful we are!
    All our love- Rob, Stacie, and Jonah
