Pumpkins, part 2!

We finished the pumpkins tonight. The kids and I braved Walmart to get some candles. Note to self, don't go to Walmart the day before or the day of a holiday...it was a nightmare. But we got back home safe and the kids were so excited to see their pumpkins lit.

Calvin's pumpkin is on the far left, a traditional jack o' lantern face. Mia's is in the middle...any guesses? Of course, a fox for the fox lover. And Asher's is on the right...what they call a silly face. Daddy gets the credit, he carved 90% of the pumpkins, the kids just told him what they wanted. I did a few minor details on the fox face. Aren't they fun!

Mia's Story

Mia was born October 12th, 2007. Lisa's water broke early at 34 weeks and she was in the hospital for 2 weeks because she didn't go into labor. During that time, they noticed a blocked intestine in Mia and determined that she should be delivered down at UCLA. So, at 36 weeks, Mia was delivered via C-section (because she was breech). We know that was a God thing because after she was born we found out her heart had not completed closing off the four chambers (an AV Canal) and a stressful delivery might not have been best for her. We also found out she didn't have an anal opening and her right nostril was blocked. Months later we would find out her skull had fused early. All of these things required surgeries. On May 1st, 2008, Mia had surgery on her skull and suffered a stroke during it. The doctors told us she would only "eat, breath, smile and laugh". People from all over had already been praying for Mia, but so many more joined in and she is truly a miracle because she continues to progress far beyond what anyone would have imagined. This is our blog to document that journey of our little girl, thank you for praying and we hope it will encourage you as much as it encourages us. God is good, all the time!
