Goodbye Summer! Fall 🍂 is here, and we're welcoming it like the long-lost friend who brings pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters. Sorry summer, but we've fallen for Fall! 🍁🎃

I’m your huckleberry…
He has exactly the sass you think he has from looking at his little face here. And more. So much sass, and so much sweetness. 💙

EIGHT YEARS AGO today, we received this letter stating that our baby girl was officially listed for transplant.
Seems like yesterday, and seems like a lifetime ago.

It wouldn’t be the beginning of the school year

It wouldn’t be the beginning of the school year if someone wasn’t sick, right? Jackson has walking pneumonia, but after getting a couple breathing treatments at the dr yesterday, and antibiotics on board, we are hoping he’s on the mend soon!

Blood work…monitoring her health is a precise ro

Blood work…monitoring her health is a precise routine we know by heart. Her lab results have been inconsistent lately, leading to medication adjustments and regular lab checks. These labs must always happen on time, exactly 11 hours after she takes her immunosuppressants and one hour before her next dose, the medications a regimen she'll maintain for the rest of her life.

She's become adept at having her blood drawn, understanding the importance of staying well-hydrated to facilitate the process. She closely watches each step, even using the proper terminology, acknowledging the technician's skill when the blood "flashes." Over time, she's developed a rapport with the phlebotomists, recognizing their faces and having her favorites she looks forward to seeing. These routine moments in the lab are an integral part of her life, a reminder of her resilience in the face of health challenges.

Nine years ago, our hearts expanded in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Today, we celebrate Paisley’s family day, the day she became an inseparable part of our lives. In these nine years, Paisley has shown us the true meaning of resilience, love and hope.
She has faced challenges that would leave many in despair, but she faces every challenge with courage and strength.

Paisley, our precious daughter, you’ve brought more joy into our lives than we ever thought possible. Your smile lights up our darkest days, and your laughter is a melody that fills our hearts with happiness.

Today, as we mark another year together, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. Grateful that you are a part of our lives, thankful for your strength, and profoundly thankful for each day we get to spend with you.

Every sunrise is a reminder of the gift of your presence in our lives. Every night, as we tuck you in, we count our blessings and hold you a little tighter, knowing that life is made a little more beautiful because you are in it.

What a gift you are. Today, and every day, we are thankful for you. 💕🌟

Drawing up meds for the week. I love that she takes an active role in learning about her meds, drawing the correct doses, and never complains about taking them. ♥️
