Mustard Pie - Spring 2014

This was Josie's 5th season modeling for Mustard Pie.

And, bonus, they added some boy accessories and asked Gabe to get in on the action.

I'm just slightly more then obsessed with how cute the pictures turned out.  I won't show all of them, but here are a few of my favorites.

Gabe's Cath Results - still waiting

I kept trying to think of a catchy title for this post, but the words won't come.

So I'll go with the obvious and just get to the meat of it.


Gabe had a heart cath done on December 6th.  

A full month ago.

When we left the hospital, the doctor's told me to expect a call within a few days with the results and action plan for what would be next.  I anxiously awaited a phone call all week and when it didn't come, I just kind of stopped thinking about it.

I felt sure that they would call any day.  I took no news as good news, assuming if it were any sort of emergency, they would have called right away.

All our close friends and family kept asking if I'd heard anything and I casually said, "not yet."

In reality, I think I wanted to pretend the original recommendation to move forward with the Fontan Surgery was wrong.  That Gabe's heart was strong and there was no need to open his heart to rearrange things.  It was nice to get through the holidays without thinking about it.



Last Friday, curiosity got the better of me and I called the office to see what the hold up was.

And I'm glad I did because it seems that his file got a little lost in the holiday shuffle.  After apologizing a million times that nobody had called us yet, they got him on the Case Review Schedule for today.

This afternoon, Gabe's case will be presented to the entire cardiac surgical team at Egelston in Atlanta.

His cardiologist, anesthesiologist, and surgeon will review his entire case file.  Based on that, they will make the decision about what time frame we are looking at for scheduling the surgery.  Since he would have to have another cath done if we wait past the beginning of June, we are expecting a surgery date in early Spring.

We have arranged for where Josie will go for the two weeks that Gabe will be in the hospital and I'm feeling as ready as I can to get this going.  We can't really do much planning until we hear what is decided at today's meeting.  Hopefully we will have all the answers by the end of the week.


As usual, thank you for your emails asking for updates on our boy.  

These next few months will be an intense roller coaster for our family but knowing how many of you are praying for us and supporting us from afar makes it all a little easier.  Y'all are the greatest.


The clothing line that Josie's been modeling for (Mustard Pie) added a little
boy line for ties and bow ties.  They asked Gabe to help model the new line
and I'm pretty much obsessed with every shot.

Mustard Pie - Fall 2013

Mustard Pie just released the Fall 2013 line.

We don't get the photos until the line released so it's always fun to see how different she looks by the time I see them.  Like here, these were taken back in January.  I didn't think she had changed that much, but after seeing these baby cheeks I think I must be mistaken!







We will get the Holiday Line photos in a couple months.  It's my favorite line she's done so I'm super excited to see those!

Mustard Pie - Spring 2013

Josie's been doing some modeling for Mustard Pie Clothing for a few years now.

Every season gets better and Josie, well, she keeps getting cuter.

She shot the Fall 2013 line last week and it was pretty amazing.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the Spring line.

Mustard Pie - Fall 2012




We are settling into our Minnesota Headquarters.

I have grand plans of doing all the required Minnesota Summer Adventures so I'm dubbing my Mom's house Ground Zero.  The weather is cool, the hugs are abundant, and I'm soaking in the feeling of home.  

So while I adjust to Lake Living, here are some shots of Josie from a shoot she did last Fall for Mustard Pie Designs.  We couldn't share pictures until the line was released and I'm a little sad over how much she has changed in a year.  She's lost all the baby in her face and is a full fledged woman child now.

Get your Mustard Pie here.

Mustard Pie - Spring 2012

Earlier this Summer Josie got to be a part of a fun shoot with Helmuth Photography for Mustard Pie Clothing.

The clothes were so Josie. 

Ruffles and twirl and cotton and most of all, lots of purple!

Of course, Jennie knocked the pictures out of the park.  She is amazing behind (and in front of) the lens.

The theme was "Under The Big Top" and all the girls had a blast!
