This little guy (affectionately known as Mck Muffin) is in critical condition. He’s a little heart buddy we have followed for months. SVT is a condition that sends the heart-rate skyrocketing. He was diagnosed with this in the womb and was not expected to live. Since his birth, (until today) he’s had no episodes and every day has been a miracle!
Evie had several bouts with SVT after her surgery and I vividly remember the barbaric tactics the hospital staff tried to bring her heart rate down. Holding a bag of ice water over her face and head…flipping her feet up in the air…all in an effort to shock her body back into a regular rhythm. It was torture! Eventually a drug was inserted through IV to stop her heart and restart it. They were terrifying experiences!
All of these attempts have failed to reset Mck Muffin’s racing heart (we’re talking 300bpm!) Eventually the heart can just stop from overworking. Please, please intercede with us for this sweet hurting baby and anxious family!

First of all, CONGRATS UNCLE ZACH!! The first to answer the trivia question from the previous post correctly! You’re the winner of the three night/four day vacation package to the Bahamas, which we would be mailing to you had it not gotten soaked in the following activity…:-)
Guaranteed to be the most fun a buck can buy.
I picked up wildflower seeds in the local Target dollar section and we made a day of it!
A group effort to pull out the mother-of-all weeds
Scattering Seeds
Giving our flowers a “drink” (aka, flooding the flower bed)
Water Works
Now if only we can keep the balls and frisbee and “pitter-patter of little feet” out of the bed,
maybe we can get some blooms.
I love my days as a Mommy…
growing poppies
growing daffodils
growing children!

Ill admit it. Im a child of the 80’s and grew up on the Sesame Street song ~ “…which of these kid’s is doin’ his own thing…”
So, a little contest for fun:
Aside from the obvious (white background/green background) what can you spy as differences between the two photos? Its a little tricky!
Evie’s blog is getting hits from cities around the world I didn’t know existed. We’d love to “meet” her fan club and prayer team. Drop a comment and introduce yourself and take a guess at these cute snapshots!
