Ooops! I miscalculated how many days it would take to me to cover Lilly's 17 months. I guess I forgot to count her first 4 weeks as a day. So today's post covers two months.
October 4, 2011 - November 3, 2011

Frank has 2 weeks off work every October and we took advantage of that time, and the cooler temperatures to go on numerous outings. I'm so glad we did - Lilly enjoyed them and I love that we created more memories with her and have fun photos. Here are some pictures from those trips (all in N.C.):

November 4 - December 3, 2011
Lilly celebrated turning 16 months by having open heart (VSD) surgery at Wolfson's Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. She had a large hole in the lower chamber of her heart and another one in the upper chamber. The holes were patched. She did great overall, and was only in the hospital 9 days. All the doctors and nurses were so pleased with Lilly and enjoyed her. We will always be so thankful to them! Here are a few pictures from that hospital stay:

Driving back home to North Carolina:
I took this picture of Lilly and used it to make thank you cards to send to each of her many doctors:
We had Lilly with us for a second Thanksgiving:
One more to close out Lilly's 16th month:
". . . Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” - Nehemiah 8:10
