I can't even believe it. Five months have flown by in a flash. Nora is almost twelve pounds and is rolling over like there is no tomorrow. She laughs now. It's the sweetest sound I've ever heard. We can't swaddle her anymore because our little Harriet Houdini somehow manages to roll in her sleep and ends up planted face down. She's too long for her bassinet and is growing taller every second. She sleeps like a champion. She is our ray of sunshine: the happiest baby we could ask for. We are undeniably and unbelievably blessed.
These things aside, it's never far from our mind that our little girl needs some "repairs." It's easy to forget that she has a heart that's unwell, especially because she's so full of life. But, she does. So we have scheduled Eleanor's surgery for June 13th and are anxious to get her patched up so she can feel her best. I am excited for the simple things we can do when she's recovered. It will be so nice to go do the little stuff- take her to the library, go grocery shopping, or even to walk around the mall! Being home bound isn't easy, so these trivial tasks will bring us a lot of joy. I can't wait for her to experience all the outside world has to offer. Anyway, going to keep this post short and sweet. Just wanted to provide a quick update. It's been a while since I have been back to work and harder to find the time to post! Thanks for the love and support as always. L

The date is big news, I'm sure a roller coaster of emotions, but it will be another new start for you all. Love your appreciation for the little things. There are so many big little things ahead!! Great family pic, she is adorable!!!

So happy to hear the progress. We sponsor the ADA at work and I purchased a heart for your family, and I am also walking in the heart walk in May in Eleanor's honor. It's the least I can do. Your family is always in my prayers. Love to see your posts of Nora's smiles and laughs.😍❤
