Lorelei
Since I've been home most of last week with the stomach flu and I didn't have anything to do but sleep and think, I realized that I haven't REALLY updated you on Lorelei. So here goes...
She has more energy then I can keep up with sometimes! She wakes up happy and usually goes to sleep happy. She still wakes up during the night on most nights but she is my baby and since I've never had a 'normal' baby this is what we are going with. She still drinks out of a bottle and I know that I have to break her of it but it's her comfort and with all she's been through its rough!
She is getting very tall and talkative. She talks up a storm and most of it you still can't understand but she does say things like "Oh, No!", YEAH!, counts to 3, Lola (our dog), Whee!, Whoa!, nose, shoe, juice, ball, Hi, Bye, Oh Toodles (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, C'mon, and of course, NO!
She can tell you what a cow, duck, lion, dog, cat and pig say, if you ask her. She will repeat every now and again so she will say purple and we are working on saying Grandpa, Grandma and Memaw.
She LOVES fruit and veggies and doesn't really care for meat all that much. She aso LOVES fruit snacks. She can also blow her nose. (Thank you daycare!) I can't believe how much they change from 1 year to the next! Next up: trying to potty train and changing her crib into the toddler bed.
We are due to go to get the second part of her H1N1 vaccine sometime soon, the pediatrics office has been out of it so we have to wait until they get it in. We will be going to see Dr. Shuler in February when we will probably have to have an ECHO since we haven't had one done since October! That should be interesting. I will definitely let you know how that goes!
John and I are looking forward to February! We are in charge of fundraising this year for Palmetto Hearts and we have some great ideas! We are also going to attend the first ever CHD conference in Columbia! It is going to be very interesting since we are really just beginning our journey in the CHD world. Also, Shannon and I are going out on our own with the BraveHEART Baskets. We are going to get all the paperwork going and become a Non-profit! This is really exciting for us! AND finally on Feb 6 we are having a fundraising breakfast for CHD Research at Fatz Cafe in Irmo, SC (I have posted earlier about this so scroll down to read about it!)
Things are looking great going into 2010! We are thankful, blessed and humbled to be where we are and can't wait to see what's in store for us this year!

We Want You! (Taken from Derrick's Blog)
We need your help...
It's been heavy on our hearts lately to do something special for CHD Awareness Week. We thought and thought, and while we were at MUSC for D's cath a few weeks ago, we gave Dr. Graham the money raised at the pageant. It felt SO good (and it was money donated by people who didn't even know us!), and it was then that we decided what we have to do. We HAVE to raise money for CHD research. While we know that anything we raise will not even be a fraction of what is needed, we have to do our part. And we need YOUR help!
Here's the deal:
Who: You and everyone you wouldn't mind eating breakfast with you
What: Pancakes covered with butter and syrup (by you, of course...yeah, heart healthy! ;) sausage, fruit and beverage
When: Saturday, February 6, from 7:30 until 10:30
Where: Fatz Cafe in Irmo (on Broad River Road)
Why: To raise money for MUSC's CHD research
How Much: $7 for you...kids 4 and under eat FREE!!
Derrick, Loreli, Parker, Logan, Andrew, Christian, Ruthie, Evie, Zeb, Elijah, Jordan, Olivia, Braeden, Kaden, Noah, Ryan, Lauren, Steve, Chloe, Lindsey, Owen, Adam, Brielle, Taggert, Garrett, Porter, Sofi, Tommy, Brittney, Cassiana, Angel Annabelle, Angel Ethin, Angel Jack, Angel Tru, Angel Amelia, Angel Andrew, and THOUSANDS of others.
So....
if you want to be waited on hand and foot while enjoying yummy, sticky sweet pancakes,
or
if you want to see how many people you can pack into one restaurant that
YOU invited there (and sold tickets to :) ),
or
if you want to help serve this yummy breakfast to these excited people and
ENJOY THIS BREAKFAST FOR FREE AFTERWARDS
or
if you want to help BraveHEARTS like these two..
email me (carolinacarters@gmail.com), leave a comment with your email so I can get in touch with you, call me, get in touch with me somehow!
It's a win-win situation.
You get breakfast, we get HOPE!

In 2010....
I plan on spending LOTS of quality time with my family!
I plan to make more homemade items (i.e. cookies, knit, sew and cook more).
I plan on eating healthier.
I plan on getting organized.
I plan on trying to keep the house clean.
and I plan on trying to be more 'earth-friendly'.
Happy New Year to everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone!
In 2009.....
Lorelei had her first birthday and her second open heart surgery.
Lorelei saw her parents hometown of Auburn, NY for the first time.
Lorelei learned how to walk, then run!
Lorelei went to Charleston for a sedated ECHO and her second surgery AND was in her very first wedding!
Lorelei saw her first snowfall in SC.
Lorelei grew up into a toddler before our very eyes.
She now has a large vocabulary but you have to ask her to say things sometimes. She has so much energy since her surgery and I thought she had a lot of energy BEFORE her surgery! She is still on the bottle and I know I need to get it away but....
Her hair has grown 3 inches and I need to get it cut but.....
Lorelei says "MAMA" loudly all the time and John gets upset because she doesn't say "Daddy" but someday he will understand when Mommy says "NO" to something and she goes running to him!
2009 brought us so many different things, I can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

'Mon
My Aunt Sharon and Uncle Les got Lo this tent! Isn't it cool? Lo loves it and says "'Mon" and swings her arm or pulls you so you can get in the tent with her! So I sit and squeeze in the tent and she squeals with delight! I love that squeal!
Christmas at Memaw's
Aunt Jeannette, Uncle Marc, Lexi and Jack got Lorelei the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It sings the Hot Dog Dance song and we have to play it over and over and over again! :O)
She loved playing with it!
She also stole Aunt Jan's Mother in law's glasses and just had to put them on! Doesn't she look studious?
Christmas day we went to my mom's house where we opened presents with mom (Memaw), Uncle Walt, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mark and Mark's parents, Eileen and Chuck. We had a great time and a wonderful dinner of ham, turkey, potatoes, seven layer salad, asparagus, and macaroni and cheese. For dessert: green cake, grasshopper pie, and mincemeat pie. It was really good! We had fun!
