The weekend is here and the kids know that in two days we will be on an airplane to California for Graci to get her ear fixed (at least that is how she puts it). Graci graduated from Kindergarten today and ended her journey at St. Therese Catholic School due to the school closing. I cried like a baby leaving that school and it was very emotional for me. My heart goes out to the teachers who have lost their job and the students/parents who don't know where they will be next school year. Graci has meet some wonderful friends there and they will be missed.
Well, we went shopping this afternoon for some new fun and cool stuff for our trip. Graci wanted some new coloring books, markers, flip flops of course, and a new pocket book. We had a great time in Target shopping and spending money to make the airplane ride fun. We got lots of things to do on the plane and snacks and candy to eat. Graci also got a new vera bradley for all her fun stuff and Griffin of course had to get a new book bag. So, we are set for the airplane ride.....also got a few DVD's to watch.
Saying our prayers tonight, when Graci said, "I won't mind sleeping in that bandage because I have slept in hair rollers and braids before." I think it will just be like toilet paper wrapped around my head. It's cool, she said. Got to love her sense of humor.
About Me
- Mary Brown
- 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.
