Snowy Day

We just can't believe it actually snowed! Joseph had a biopsy scheduled in Charleston on Tuesday morning. I wanted to stay home so my kids could see it snow. The last time we saw snow, Abby was only a few days old and we were living in Richmond, VA. If we stayed home and rescheduled our appt. it would probably just rain........if we went to Charleston, surely it would snow in Florence. The appt. had already been rescheduled twice, so...we decided to keep our appointment and get Joseph's cath done. My prediction was right! We went to Charleston and it snowed in Florence. So...we hurried home after Joseph's cath and our neighborhood was loaded with snow! We tried to take Dr.'s advice and "take it easy for the next couple of days", but the white stuff just kept calling! We bundled up and went out to play in the snow! Abby and Joseph had a wonderful time! They each built their own snowman and Joseph had to make a snow angel! Joseph also put an MUSC cap on his snowman in honor of his buddies there. The icing on the cake was that Joseph got an excellent report from Dr. Ringewald! He is scheduled to come back in 3 months......that will be Joseph's birthday and his 2nd anniversary with his new heart! That just amazes us. Where has the time gone? We have enjoyed this time with him, that is for sure.

Speaking of icing and cakes...Abby turned 5 years old on Jan. 19th! She had a tinkerbell party and had a big time celebrating with her family and friends. It's just so hard to believe she's 5 now! It was bittersweet for her mommy and daddy! She got her first bicycle. Thanks for checking in with us. Please keep us in your prayers, along with our donor family.
Until next time...
Angela, Stephen, Joseph, Abigail
