One year ago today we were blessed with our sweet little miracle & gift, Sophia.
It is truly remarkable the impact that one tiny, little person has had on so many. She touched all of our hearts in such a profound way and taught us that life is truly a gift, if only for a day.
It's hard to believe it has already been 1 year since we first met Sweet, Baby Sophia. When I woke up this morning all I could think about was the moment they wheeled Sophie into my recovery room...I just couldn't believe it. I thought I would NEVER get to see her or meet her. Dr. Hoekstra pushed her isolette right next to my bed and smiled and said, "This little girl is a fighter!" Then, Sophie turned her sweet little head toward me and opened her eyes. It is an image I will NEVER forget and will hold in my heart forever!
We are looking forward to spending the morning and afternoon with Jack and then spending the evening with our families. We will never ever be able to thank our families enough for all that they have done to support us over this past year. We would never be where we are without them. Or our loving friends. Thank you all SO much. We are looking forward to spending the day remembering our sweet Sophie and looking forward to seeing all of our friends and extended family on the 30th. It will be such a great day to honor her sweet little life and to support Faith's Lodge.
We love and miss you SO MUCH Sophia. Happy 1st Birthday, Sophie :)

Alli, Dan, and Jack, As Jack would say, "It's a Sunny Day", Grandma!
And like today,what a very sunny day it was last July 21st when our sweet angel Sophia Rebbecca came into our lives! When they wheeled her past us, I remember thinking-
"I am witnessing a miracle!" and
thanking God a million times for this gift. We were able to touch her little toes for just a moment that day. I will remember that touch forever. Thank you, Alli and Dan, for all that you did to give
Sophia that chance, that one day.
You remain our heroes as you continue to give hope and support to other families through your work with Faith's Lodge. Happy Birthday,sweet Sophia. We think of you every day, but especially on this anniversary. Alli, Dan, and Jack, we love you. Mom and Dad
