A Journey of Grace: Easter cookies...

"Even in the valley, God IS good."

Grace was born at 23 weeks in September of 2006. As a result of her extreme prematurity, she has hydrocephalus (VP shunt) and cerebral palsy. After 126 harrowing days in the NICU, she came home. Overcoming all the odds, she learned to walk, talk, and play like every child. On November 16th, 2009, our lives took another shocking turn. Gracie's shunt failed, and she suffered from a massive stroke. After 13 days in the PICU, 7 days in 1600, and 6 weeks at a rehabilitative hospital, Gracie is once again home. Now, we face SOME of the day to day challenges of parents with a brain injured child -re-learning, therapy, illnesses and seizures. Thanks for joining us on our journey!

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Easter cookies...

So, we made and decorated Easter cookies tonight. Such fun!! I couldn't get many good pictures because I had frosting all over my fingers, but I had to take a few!

It all started so innocently. A cute little girl and a butter knife full of icing...
