"Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?" (Proverbs 20:6).

I just have to brag about some of my friends for a minute.  We are sooo blessed with great friends.  Right now, 2 of them are working tirelessly to put together a See Grace Run, Poke Run.  It will be held on December 1st and I am so excited.  (The flyer is attached and see the fundraiser tab for more info).  It is going to be an incredible experience and I can not wait!  I have also ordered some See Gracie Run bands and will post more about them when they arrive.

Gracie turned 1 on the 29th of October and my goodness was this mamma soooo excited!  She gave ME a present that day.  She stood up, 3x, all by herself in the middle of the floor and started walking!!!!  Let me tell you, I cried I was so happy!  Her balance is a problem for her, but she really compensates well.  She falls a lot more then Landry did, but she has half the foot he had too, so I think she's doing amazing!!!  I have been working on getting her used to shoes, and when we put the brace on, with the shoe...she takes off!  She does have a little limp, but nothing that stops her.

I spoke with Gracie's doctor a couple weeks ago, and he confirmed that we are all set for pre-op March 11, and surgery March 12.  They will straighten her tibia and reconstruct her ankle.  I can not believe how close it is getting.  In 4 months we will be flying out to Baltimore, and all of our lives will be changing.  The closer it gets, the more anxious I get, but overall, I think I'm doing pretty good.  It's easy to be doing good when I have my husband's birthday in late September, and both Landry and Gracie's birthday's in October.  Now it's time for the holidays, and this girl LOVES the holiday season!!!

Please continue to pray for us.  We would love prayers for protection over our family and our health (there is sooo much to reschedule if Gracie gets sick right before surgery), favor and provision for flights, medical bills, therapy, etc., for the Poker Run to exceed our expectations, and for us to be as much of a blessing to others as they have been to us.  We truly have been so humbled by the outpouring of love and prayers for Gracie. 

***If you or anyone you know has items/services you would like to donate for a raffle during our fundraiser, please contact me at 480-227-0821 or graciesrun@gmail.com.  Because we are not attached to a non-profit, we are having a hard time getting donations.  The companies that provide donations will be listed on our registration flyer, on our facebook page, and on this blog.  THANK YOU!!!!

Gracie and I right after she was born!

One year later...my baby girl is growing too fast!
