And the day that forever changed our lives, November 29th. This is the day Rowan received her gift of life.
It's really easy to become overwhelmed with emotion, but we choose to celebrate and give thanks!
Like last year we held a blood drive in Rowan's honor. This year we teamed up with our church and had 44 blood donors in 4 hours! We also registered 12 people to be organ donors! (I'm sure I could have done better... But I had to wait in line to donate blood myself!)
We also placed flowers in the church sanctuary in memory of Ro's angel donor.
I know I post all of the time, but if you haven't already, please consider being an organ donor and saving someone's life!

In case you haven't been around us lately, we have a pistol on our hands. She is a ball full of energy and has an ever growing vocabulary. We are up to twenty when counting, but she skips 15 and 16. She sings songs, shouts commands, requests the weirdest things, imitates everything/everyone....
Rowan still sleeps in her crib. She loves it and she doesn't try to climb out, so we will just ride that train to the station. However, the other day she was really chattering and did not want to take a nap. Next thing you know, she climbed out, surprised me, and was demanding "I wanna buy some money!" I think she meant buy some tickets, but it startled me and was hilarious at he same time.

This was her "gobbling" at Thanksgiving.
Ok. Guess we had a little milk accident, but apparently mom is supposed to clean up...

It's hard to comprehend how blessed we are. We really do thank God every night for our angel donor. If not for her, our little firecracker wouldn't be with us.
