At Konner's school there is a tiger named, Raphael, that each child gets to take home for the weekend. This weekend was Konner's turn. He was so excited!! Konner thought he lost him Saturday night before bed and was so upset and crying, but we did find him. At the end of the weekend you write in a journal provided what all Raphael did with the family.

Saturday was the March of Dimes March for Babies walk at Pascagoula Beach Park. We were so honored to have been chosen to be the Ambassador family this year. Before the walk we were asked to speak about our story of Adyson. I was going to speak this time, but it didn't happen. Dan holds it together alot better than I do when speaking in front of crowds. Thanks baby!! Konner was even asked by Northrup Grumman if he would draw names for the prizes they were giving away. It was a great turn out and over $45,000 was raised!! Thanks to all who came out to support babies that are born prematurely.
Our Team (minus a few)
Dan spoke and I didn't cry =)

Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of giving Adyson's bedding to a friend Dan went to school with, Emily, for her sweet little girl Heidi Louise (aka: Lou Lou) to have. She and her twin sister, Mary, were born in June at 22 weeks and unfortunately Mary passed away. Emily followed our story with Adyson and we do the same with Lou. She is still in the NICU at USA and they are hoping to bring her home sometime in December. Please keep Lou and her family in your prayers.
