First time at church

This past Sunday we took Burke to church for the first time. I was a little worried he might cry all the way through but I was wrong. He slept all through Sunday school and then had a quick bottle at the beginning of the church service and then was out again. We were so proud to have him there with us. Our church has been so supportive since we lost Mamie and during our pregnancy with Burke. The love we have felt from our church community is overwhelming. It was nice to go in with a beautiful and healthy baby in my arms. I know I must have been grinning from ear to ear.

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 :)
