What She's Up To!

Mylah is now 15 months old. Everyday I look at her and feel so blessed, thankful and honored to have her here and to watch her grow.

She is quite the little firecracker. She is always busy and getting into something. She is tiny, petite, and sweet. She is learning to talk and mastering her walk. She is silly, crazy, and loud. She is so, so precious.

Mylah reminds me daily that life is so short, that in a hospital room almost a year and a half ago we almost lost her. Life is something to be cherished, and hers we do cherish.

Now don't get me wrong, our lives aren't full of rainbows and butterflies, but she reminds us to slow down and look to the little things. We are so thankful for that blessing or remembering.

Mylah has done so many wonderful things these past few weeks!

She celebrated her second Christmas, and she loved every second of it. Who doesn't love ripping open packages and seeing that there are toys inside?!

She was able to visit Santa, and didn't like it very much...

she played in the snow for the very first time! She loved it.

and she celebrated her second New Years.

She is truly our little miracle, we are honored to be her parents and can't wait to see what the New Year holds of our Heart Baby!

Team Mylah

It's that time of year again! Time for the Children's Heart Foundation of Nevada's Heart Walk!
Our family is participating in Walk With the Heart of a Child for the second time and can't wait!
 We are so excited to raise awareness and funds for the local families in honor of sweet Mylah.

The walk will be held Saturday, February 23rd, 2013 at the Fashion Show Mall from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. We can pick up our registrants shirts so you don't have to be there that early, if you'd like. 
If you can, we'd love any donations to reach our goal of $500! 

Here are your options:
1) You can just donate any amount and not walk with us.
2) You can join us the day of the walk by joining Team Mylah and donating whatever amount you'd like, and then getting your money to us for a customized shirt that we are ordering ourselves!
{Please email me for the pricing amounts}
3) You can become a virtual walker! It's only $15 and will go towards our team goal.

And lastly, you have one other option. I have chosen to donate gowns to the hospital where Mylah was born, cared for, and had her two surgeries. We want to make this a tradition as a family, and do this each year during the weekend of the Heart Walk.
If you would rather donate money to have a gown made in your name for the donation,
you can do this via Paypal at themendedheartshop@gmail.com.
You can donate any amount and it will go towards the cost of one gown ($13)

Thank you in advance for your donations, love, and support of our sweet heart baby!
GO TEAM MYLAH!!
