Grantito can walk!!!

It's official...Our little Grant can walk!!! Okay, he is one of the last in his daycare class...but who is counting anyway. This short video will show what one small week of practice can accomplish.

Christmas PJ's

I am posting these pictures for Grant's grandparents in Ohio. His "nona" has a tradition of sending soft, comfy pajamas for all the grandkids for Christmas. We did get them in time...but our Christmas was especially warm, so he didn't wear them on Christmas Eve. Has has worn them since, but I wanted to show some pictures. These are now his new favorite toys!!! He is still not walking, but he is definitely going places!

I gave blood today...

and I didn't freak out! I have never donated blood before today because something about it really scared me, but it wasn't bad at all. I felt good about doing it after I left the blood donation center and I will definitely do it again. It was totally worth it and I don't feel weak or tired at all! If you live in the Houston area visit www.giveblood.org . It was a very informative website and the donation location in Pearland was really nice.

Blood Donations Needed!!!

Hey everyone! I know that I do not get that much readership, but I am putting a call out for help an old friend of mine. She is not old...but I have known her since the 6th grade. :) My friend Missy Knight has the cutest little boy Samuel who is fighting for his life at Texas Children's Hospital this very minute. Right now he is using a lot of blood and Missy has asked for anyone to donate blood in her son's name. He is Samuel Knight and he is at Texas Children's Hospital. I am not sure exactly how it works, but this is what she has written on her blog,

"We are still getting tons of blood products. We could use as many donors as possible. You can go to any donation spot and donate to Samuel Knight at Texas Children's Hospital. I think they give you a voucher that we can use to deduct the cost of what we owe for his blood. So, if you get a chance, please go donate blood, plasma, or platelets for Samuel. He is recieving all 3 and we could really use the vouchers!"

I am sure the people at the donation centers are very knowledgeable about how this process works. I have never donated blood before, but I am going to go this weekend if there is an availablity. Please pass the word and check out Missy's blog. It is www.missyknight.blogspot.com . Please send lots of prayers for Samuel and this family. Thanks so much!
