This year we decided to refocus what we celebrate on Valentine's Day. In the old days (pre Emma) it was of course all about Andy and me but now that we have a family it is not just about us. Andy and I still believe it is important to celebrate our love but is also important for us to celebrate the heart defect that Emma overcame. By becoming involved with local and national congenital heart defect organizations we have learned that this is the time of year to raise awareness about the defect. So we are now going to make it a tradition to celebrate Emma and her major achievement and of course the love of our family.
To celebrate Emma this year we took part in a walk sponsored by Milagros (that means miracles in Spanish). Milagros is an organization that supports families affected by congenital heart defects. We had a blast being part of something so special and can't wait to do it again next year.
