About Me

My photo
I am a mother of a beautiful daughter with Hemifacial Microsomia. Graci has changed my life forever. I am so thankful for every day God gives me with her. I believe God created her the way he wanted her to be; and placed her in my life for a reason. I pray that he gives me strength and guidance I need to raise her to be a beautiful lady. Graci was born with mulitple birth defects. She has already undergone several surgeries and now we have reached the point in her life where she will have ear reconstuction on her microtia. This blog is for family, friends and others to read as we go through this amazing journey in California as Graci gets her new ear.

A Day in the City!

Today we drove to the beautiful city of San Francisco. I just loved looking at all the beautiful huge palm trees and all the flowers and greenery. It was breathtaking.

We took a cruise on the San Fran Bay and went under the Golden Gate Bridge (the red bridge, according to Griffin). It was amazing looking at the city on the water. Thomas and I even had a toast while on the boat with a Corona and lime, and the kids had a Sprite. We had a "Cheers" to Graci getting her new ear the four of us!

We also saw sea lions resting on the rocks and traveled up close to the Alcatraz. I can only imagine how those prisoners felt in that cold dark place. We then went to the Aquarium by the Bay where we toured an underground aquarium with over 20,000 fishes. There were fishes everywhere and even on our heads, at least, that's what the kids thought. A great day before the Big Day!!
