Little Emma was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia at the age of 3. Fanconi anemia is a rare bone marrow disease that leads to many cancers and life threatening health problems. So far Emma has stayed cancer free, but this warrior has been through so much. She has had countless rounds of chemotherapy, bone marrow aspirations, a bone marrow transplant, and very long hospital stays. And her fight still isn’t over. Fanconi anemia doesn’t have a cure yet and is very low on funds for research. She is now 7 years old and making amazing strides every day. She just got back from a wonderful make a wish trip to Disney and is not letting this horrible monster get in her way of just being a kid. Emma is a Fanconi Anemia warrior, and every day I pray that one day she will become a Fanconi anemia survivor.

Emma loves receiving letters! Just knowing others care about her will give her a peace of mind right now. 

Also, please remember she has a very jealous 3 year old brother Dalton, who would love to receive letters too! Dalton often feels left out in the craziness of Emma's sickness.

She loves hello kitty, so feel free to include that in the letter! Please include your address, Emma and Dalton would love to write back.

Here's the address:
Emma Routh or Dalton Routh

Today Is My Grand Daughter's First Birthday!

A year ago today my granddaughter was born at 9:53pm!


I can not believe it has been a year since my grand daughter Abbygail was born. I remember that night very well, my daughter Ashley had to go to a hospital about two hours away when she went into labor. I had the flu and was very sick with a bad cough and fever. I wanted to be there so bad but there was no way I was going to get past the doctors being as sick as I was. Ashley and Alan were so good about keeping me updated with her progress by text messages, emails and of course a phone call any chance they got. I couldn't even keep my grandson AJ while they were at the hospital because I didn't want him to get sick and then pass it on to the new baby or his Mommy & Daddy, so it was a very long lonely night. I remember updating my status on Facebook constantly and posting updates to my blog just to keep busy so I would go crazy waiting for the next update.

After a couple of hours of updates and feeling terribly sick and anxious all at the same time I realized I had not heard from Ashley or Alan in over an hour, I tried to call them and no answer. So panic sets in and my anxiety level goes up as well as my fever, I start to cough and then can't stop, I feel horrible and can not find out what is going on at the hospital. Finally after another horrible hour of waiting I get a text message that tells me "She's here" as my daughter said it in the text message. I was so happy and so relieved to know all was good, even as I write this tonight I can still feel those emotions and have tears in my eyes. Here we are today a year later my darling little granddaughter Abbygail Lyla is a year old, wow it is so amazing and Ashley & Alan are wonderful parents to Abby and my grandson AJ who will be four in July. I could not ask for anything more and I would not change a thing. I am so blessed to have them in my life, they are my world and I love them all so much!

Congratulations! It's your Abby's first birthday!


Can you believe that an entire year has passed since the birth of your child? And what an incredible journey it has been! As your child reaches his first birthday, you may reflect on the year that has passed or even back to when you were trying to conceive, or first found out you were pregnant. You may remember the first fluttering in your tummy, those first little kicks that soon turned into power kicks, and then your first labor pains. You may think back to the car ride home from the hospital and those first few nights at home, and all those diapers!

Your child's first birthday marks their graduation from infancy to toddlerhood. Over the past year, your baby has reached so many impressive milestones with your love and care. You, your partner, your baby's siblings and other caregivers should all be so proud! The upcoming year will be just as exciting. Among the developments to come, your child will begin to interact more with other children their age and their vocabulary will begin to increase at an amazing rate, reaching up to about 50 spoken words in the next 12 months!

Today Is International Women's Day 2012!

International Women's Day is on March 8!


 Hundreds of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women.

Organisations, governments and women's groups around the world choose different themes each year that reflect global and local gender issues.

Some years have seen global IWD themes honoured around the world, while in other years groups have preferred to 'localise' their own themes to make them more specific and relevant.

So while many people may think there is one global theme each year, this is not always correct. It is completely up to each country and group as to what appropriate theme they select.

March Is Women's History Month!

Congressional Resolution Designating the Month of March "Women's History Month"


The public celebration of women's history in this country began in 1978 as "Women's History Week" in Sonoma County, California. The week including March 8, International Women's Day, was selected. In 1981, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) co-sponsored a joint Congressional resolution proclaiming a national Women's History Week. In 1987, Congress expanded the celebration to a month, and March was declared Women's History Month.

Whereas American women of every race, class and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways;

Whereas American women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of the life of the Nation by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home;

Whereas American women were have played a unique role throughout the history of the Nation by providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of the Nation;

Whereas American women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation;

Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement;

Whereas American women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, which create a more fair and just society for all; and

Whereas despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued, in the literature, teaching and study of American History;

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that March is designated as "Women's History Month." The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation for each of these months, calling upon the people of the United States to observe those months with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities.
