I am not the creative type but Stryker thought the leprechaun trap that I built for him was the BEST! That's definitely all that matters.

Cutter is busting out of the NICU & never looking back! Thank you to all of the prayers as well as the amazing care that Brookwood's NICU staff provided.



Coco sent us this picture of LakeLynn & Stryker getting ready to welcome Cutter home.

Appreciative of Brookwood & the NICU, but cannot wait to be home with Cutter as a family of 5!



Our front door was decorated by LakeLynn & Stryker along with a smiley face balloon!

Logan took LakeLynn to Madie Claire Hickman's birthday party at the American Girl store in Atlanta, so I decided to spend quality time with Stryker. I took him to Chuck E Cheese in Vestavia followed by ice cream! It was special just the 2 of us. Coco met us when we finished at Chuck E Cheese & rode to get ice cream with us.






















We all ate dinner together at Cracker Barrel before I headed back to Brookwood's NICU to stay with Cutter.
