What have we been up to?

I must admit, I am overwhelmed. I am now interning at the VA Medical Center, going to school, being a mother and being a wife. All while trying to stay sane. LOL. No, in all honesty I am doing fairly well. I am just trying to adjust to this new routine/schedule. I actually enjoy having a routine, not only for myself but for Ashleigh as well. It works out very nicely. She is doing good. We have moments when she doesn't want to go to school; however, those are short lived (thank goodness). Well, here are some pics depicting our last month.

Hope all is well for you all and Happy Tuesday to you all!

Ashleigh's Surgery

Ashleigh had a surgery on the 5th of August. She was such a trooper! Mommy & Daddy were so proud of her. Here are some pictures from the time right after her surgery to a couple days later.

The End!

A Memoir of Paul Cardall coming out soon!

Paul is the extraordinary man who was blessed to have received a heart transplant about a year ago. He was encouraged to write a book about his life experiences with the heart deformity that put in on the heart transplant list. Although, I don't have much time to read anything, other than my school books these days, I am going to place my order today for his book. I hope who ever reads this blog will do the same or even just take a look at his inspirational blog.

Have a great week!

Here's his blog post:Paul Cardall | Living for Eden: My Book, "Before My Heart Stops" coming this Fall ...

Summer Update

This is a much needed update on here, I know. Ashleigh has been one busy little girl, lately.
