In October, Squish met with her local cardiologist, who determined that she is cleared for 1 year. That's fantastic news! He said her murmurs from the two remaining valve issues haven't changed since her first repair in March, which is more than we could have ever hoped for. God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good!
We celebrated her birthday a few weeks later than the actual date, at the end of December, so Honey and Bumpa could be here to celebrate with us. We also applied for a dream cake through the Icing Smiles Foundation (http://www.icingsmiles.org), a foundation that arranges for dream or fun cakes for kids and siblings who have been through significant medical issues. She was a shoe in, and we were put into contact with Tiffany at Fairy Dust Bakery & Boutique (www.thefairydustbakery.com).
Tiffany came out to deliver Ash's cake, and also brought her a Minnie Mouse t-shirt and bow to go with her theme. The cake was delicious, and Ash had a fantastic time!

We recently moved to a new church in town. Caitlyn had been going through some stuff, and the youth group at this new church worked wonders for her. Rather than worship in different churches, we decided to check the services out, and fell in love with not only the message and the vision, but also the ministries and outreaches. The transition has been flawless, and it's "home" when we walk into the building each and every time.
I'll keep this post short and sweet. We've got a lot coming up in the next few weeks. Jeremy's dad will be in this weekend for a short visit, Jeremy and Cait will be attending a purity ball at the end of the month, and we are getting involved with the American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women" campaign in February.
Until next time, -K
