Where'd all the hearts go?











Thank you for making our name fundraiser a huge success! Meet our son, Roland! Charley likes Rollie (pronounced RAH-lie) for short. I may call him Roro or Rolo or Rollin'. Or Roly Poly Olly. Or Lando! See I get my Star Wars reference after all! :)

I'll see what nickname fits him best as I'm playing with his little fingers and toes. It's the scientific way to do things. :)

Thank you all!

  1. Hi, I found your blog through RR and wanted to say Congratulations on all your blessings! I literally checked this blog 15 minutes ago and there were 4 hearts left, then there were no hearts and as I was typing my 1st comment (that got erased due to my 2 kids jumping around me), I saw you are now at $7000. I'd better make it quick or you'll be fully funded! lol. I am a prayer warrior for little "Raymond" on RR who also has Arthogryposis. I just want to thank you for sharing your journey. It's very inspiring and I will pray for you and your family all thru this process and even "after the airport!" I hope to be able to contribute financially to Roland soon! (I'd better hurry, huh?) :) God bless you and your family!

  2. GOOD GRIEF... HOW DID I MISS YOUR BLOG??/ I had no idea Joel... oopss.. Roland had his very own blog... I"ve been happily reading your other blog and thinking I was in the loop... then I see this on FB and realize I AM OUT OF THE LOOP!! Gracious.. so out of the loop that I missed all the fun.. Tells you how well I follow FB... Okay - in my defense... I have a gazillion FB friends that I can't begin to sift through them all!!

  3. Samantha, are you on Facebook or do you have an email? I'm so happy that you're praying for Raymond! My daughter and I pray for him every night before bed. I saw a little while ago his fund jump from $45 to $1,045 and I thought, "Hmm, someone is praying for him." :) A few of us (Julia in the comments included) are going to try to advocate for the AMC kids on RR. I'd love to include you!
