fourth heart transplant anniversary

On Saturday, we celebrated the fourth anniversary of Dahlia's heart transplant.  It was a joyous celebration of the gift of life Dahlia was given four years ago.  A celebration of all the obstacles she has beaten over the course of four years and the fact the she is still with us; unfortunately some transplant recipients do not live to see this milestone.  We released balloons for Dahlia's precious donor in heaven.  We are so thankful for her donor and her donor's family and their precious gift they gave to us.  They were thought of many times throughout the day.

from this week...

On the way to Jessica's wedding, we stopped by the big gas station, Buc ee's.  Dahlia saw this Buc ee backpack and fell in love with it, so Santa had to get it for her.  She puts all of her little treasures in it and wears it around the house.

 Dahlia loves going outside to blow bubbles.  It was warm enough this week to go play outside, without worrying that she would get sick.
