Heart Walk & Reunion

September 26th I went down to Charleston, South Carolina for the annual American Heart Association "Little Heart Walk". The weather was perfect, the company was better, and it was something my family and I will never forget. I was able to hold this little cute baby that I have been following since before he was born. I met moms that I will forever be grateful for. And babies who have defied all odds. It was a complete reminder to the wonderful hands of our Maker.

That night we attended our first Heart Reunion put on by Palmetto Hearts. It was so amazing. There where all these kids running around laughing and playing with out a care in the world. You looked at those kids and you had no idea the scars they were hiding, the surgeries they have been through, their battles they have fought, how very special their hearts were. To a stranger they were kids, but to us, they were and are blessings sent from above.



Christian fell in love with Ms. Piggy :)




The reunion was held down at the Children's Museum in Down Town Charleston. Everything there was hands on. They got to see how gravity worked with golf balls, how water played a part in everything from electricity to boating, they got to play a cashier and a shopper at the grocery store. Ate at a play diner and were the servers at the diner. They played on a pirate ship, went to pirate jail and sail the seas. They were knights is this castle and were kings on a thrown. You name it, they did it. Face painting, balloon animals, and even some cake and soda. They had it all! Parents had just as much fun as the kids, but they wore out easire... imagine that, lol.











It was just so amazing and I can not wait till next year!
