Baths, Hats and Magazines

Today has been a very busy day! We started with Harper getting a bath. You can tell how much she loved it! ha! They are getting us prepared to go home soon so we have had people in and out all day - a hearing test, speech therapists, physical therapists, etc. She got her oxygen out today and if all is still okay - shortly she gets to take all of her monitors off!!! We still have to work on feedings and she has to have an MRI and a few other things done but maybe by the end of this week - we will be heading towards Arkansas!!!!

Look at this SIGN that a blogger made me!!!! We are going to put it in her nursery but I had to hang it on her crib. It just absolutely tickled me!!! We got so many cute things in the mail today. I want to show off everything but this post would be WAY too long! We are SO grateful for each and every thing. Hopefully you will each hear from me SOON!
Could you just die with her in this hat???? This was made by the sweet girl who wrote me that she accepted Christ because of Harper's story - that makes the hats extra special to me.
(if you want a hat like this - e-mail me and I'll give you contact info)
I wanted you to know about Serious.Life Magazine. They just put out the February issue today, and I am in their Featured Blog Directory. They published one of my favorite posts and some of our photos too. It’s a very high quality magazine… you’ll really like it. (Check out pages 11, 87 & 88)!

The magazine includes a lot of great content from bloggers you’ll appreciate, as well as great features, photos and other content. The magazine is owned and published by a family who have seven kids, three adopted and one who has Leukemia (www.riggsfamilyblog.com). (Please go there and read about Abby and be praying for her - she is very sick and could use a lot of prayer warriors like all of ya'll who prayed for Harper)!!! The magazine gives away a bunch of ads to charities and ministries. Besides great articles on interesting people, there is a lot about family, adoption, personal finance, spiritual life, humor… all sorts of “life” topics.

Again, the subscription is free, and I know you’ll enjoy the magazine, so take a minute to check it out and sign up to get future issues. Who knows, you’ll probably end up being in it too!



We just want to thank you for continuing to pray for our family!
May God bless you abundantly for how you have blessed us!

P.S. Please pray for this fellow blogger - she lost her baby at 38 weeks due to a cord issue. You can imagine how hard this must be. I don't understand - but we can pray for her comfort.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I don't personally know you but have learned your story through one of our mutual friends. Your family is precious and God is watching over you all.

I did want to see where you got that adorable hat that is brown with the pink flower? It is adorable!!!!

I love the hat. So adorable!
Harper is so precious.
I have always wanted to be a neonatal nurse to take care of babies like Harper. Your story really is making me want to do it even more. God bless you all! I hope baby Harper can come home soon :)
