Life as a Leach

A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have purchased shirts to show love to Abby and support our family!  If you would still like to get a shirt, the sale will end Tuesday evening.  There are tshirts, sweatshirts, long sleeved shirts, tank tops, and youth sizes available.  Shirts will begin shipping on February 5th. Click here to choose a shirt style. Thank you so much for loving us!  

My sister made these wonderful shirts as a way to allow people to show support for our family.  We asked people on Facebook for a word they would use to describe Abby, then my sister used the description to make a heart.  Aren't they awesome?!  If you are interested in purchasing a tshirt, you can click here to get to the website.  There are several different styles to choose from!  Included on the page is information about how we will be using any funds raised through tshirt sales.  Thank you so much for loving our family!

In the middle of doing a puzzle together, Abby stopped to stretch her back a bit.  I sat in front of her and asked if her back hurt often.  Matter of factly, she said it hurt all of the time and went back to stretching. Just when my heart broke a little for my poor girl, she looked up at me and smiled, saying, "But that's okay, because I'm the happiest girl in the whole wide world.  I love my family!" We love you too, Abs!  Keep choosing joy, sweet girl!

I thought Abby's room looked a little dreary.  Time to decorate it! Abby's Grammy made this banner for her after her last surgery. Everybody needs to know her name! I made this little sign using materials from the playroom to hang outside her door, along with a picture of the "real" Abby! Abby's cousins drew her some pictures! :) Making sure everybody knows what we stand for!
