Mckinley pics/heart update

As a heart update: About a week ago, Mckinley had another echo. She is older now and wasn't thrilled to have the u/s machine on her chest but they let me hold her and she survived, with a few tears and and a very sad lower lip :(. But all is good because her heart is looking good! Her vessels are growing, no scar tissue buildup, and she is handling not having the pulmonary valve great! We are so excited!!

Picture update: In my house I have two square frames that have 9 pics in them. One of them has 9 faces of Kennedy, the other has 9 pics of Harrison as a newborn. I was going to try and have one for each child but since Mckinley's surgery I wasn't able to get some newborn ones, so I decided to have Jenny take some face pics at the park that I could use as 9 faces like Kennedy's...so Jenny jumped, laughed, danced, made funny faces, noises and pretty much did everything but stand on her head to get Mckinley to smile...which I totally believe paid off! Here are a few of my fav's...(harrison helped at the end and actually was a little bit distracted but ended up with a few cute ones too :)!) Thanks Jenny!!!!

Those pictures are beautiful!!! I love them. I can't believe how big McKinley looks in these too. She is such a pretty 1-year-old! I'm glad everything is looking great with her heart too.
