Little Rock Marathon

I am so very proud of Taylor. He decided last year to train for the the LR Marathon. Not the 5k, not the half but the WHOLE marathon. After much training he hurt his back pretty bad and had to delay his run until this year. We were laughing because when I went into labor with Burke, Dr. Sellers was on a 100mile bike ride so we just knew something like that happen with Winnie being due so close to the LR Marathon. Sure enough we delivered little bit the Tuesday before the marathon. Thankfully all was well and we were home by Thursday so Taylor could get rested for Sunday. Brit and I took the boys and headed down after church to meet Taylor at the finish line. Watching all the people come in was pretty exciting but not as exciting as when Taylor came through. His very first marathon and he ran it in 4hrs and 12min. Pretty good isn't it. I know I will never accomplish that. I can't even run a half mile. :) Not my thing.

Taylor, congratulations! We are so proud of you!

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...

VBS

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast. I did as well :) I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting. There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :) It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light. We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it. She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling. I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
