Happy 13th Birthday Sydney and Mazel Tov on your Bat Mitzvah

What amazing day! Sydney turned 13 and had her Bat Mitzvah.  To say we are proud is an understatement.  Studying for her Bat Mitzvah during COVID with things constantly changing shows us what an amazing person Syd truly is.  The night was so special.  Sydney led the service with confidence and maturity.  We are so proud!

12 YEAR NICU ANNIVERSARY!! 4-7-2020

Today is Sydney's 12 year NICU Anniversary.  We were all talking about Sydneys 5 1/2 month NICU stay and we told the girls that one night we were not able to go because there was an ice storm. I was devastated I couldn't go into see Syd.  The nurses were beyond amazing and always made me feel better.  All the staff took such great care of Syd like she was their family.  I cant imagine what the parents are going thru right now not being able to go into the NICU to see their baby/babies.  I  do know that the nurses are making sure they are loved and cared for. 

We send love and good health to all of our family and friends.  Sending lots of love to the NICU staff who we have a special place in our hearts for.
