Happy Birthday Papa!

We got to go to the lake this weekend and celebrate Papa's 65th birthday!  We ate like kings and enjoyed the incredible weather on Saturday.  I didn't get a single picture of the birthday boy, but here are a few of the kids:

Organ Donation

This article took me by surprise.  Neonatal organ donation is less common than I realized. This quote is what has been in my heart since August 12, 2012:

“Obviously, it was the worst moment of my life." 
said Slifka, 28, of Youngstown, Ohio.
"But I knew there had to be more to her life than 39 weeks inside of me. 

She held not just the potential to save another baby, 
but to save another parent as well.”
