Hematology Oncology – August 31, 2011

Our very best wishes for health are sent out to those patients at Hematology Oncology in Westville, Indiana who will use these chemo hats.  We are continually touched that we can possibly provide a bright spot for somebody out there in this big beautiful world.  Good health to you all!

PMH – August 31, 2011

A delivery was made to Porter Memorial Hospital for their preemies.  This was the first of our “fall” donations.  All hospitals except one requested holidays so…….Halloween is also included.  We hope the families enjoy and our hearts go out to the families who will need the bereavement sets.

Isaiah, you inspire us

Can we at TeamZachMcD be any more touched and more inspired to keep doing what we do?  No, we cannot.

Have we shed some tears in the last couple of days?  Yes, we have.

Why?  Because of Isaiah.  Isaiah is a NICU patient and was born weighing 3 lbs. 5 oz.  He has now surpassed his birth weight and weighs in at 3 lbs. 10 oz.  Go Isaiah!!!!  We have not met (yet), but he looks like he has the same fight Zachary had, so we know he will continue doing well.

With Mom’s permission, we present to you Isaiah, a recipient of hats and blankets that we at TeamZachMcD donate to hospitals.  How precious is this little guy………..

………..and here is Isaiah with his Daddy…….

Keep growing, little guy, and we will be sending our good thoughts and wishes to you and your family every day.

Dunebrook – August 18, 2011

Dunebrook asked us if we would consider making items for their auction.  Well, of course we would.  We love Dunebrook.  Here are the things we made for them.  We hope they make some money and more importantly, that the recipients enjoy these things.  The puppy and kitten panels have a crocheted border.  You cannot see the border in these pics because I hung the blankets up to get a full shot of their beauty.  Many thanks to David Textiles.  Thank you for your support.

A day with Zachary

Yes, I am – lucky – very lucky.  I get to watch Zachary two days a week while his Daddy and Mommy are at work.  Here is what we did last Wednesday.

Here is the cutie still in his jammies, fresh from his crib.  I changed his diaper, of course, and then he ate one of my now world-famous (not really – but they are GOOD) banana muffins and also had some applesauce for breakfast.  I wish I woke up this happy and cute every morning……..

……then we went outside to play.  Louie loves Zachary sooooooooooo much…………

………….in this picture, they both heard a really loud truck on the street and both turned to look and see what it was…………

………..then he found this bag of bolts.  I jokingly texted Corey and asked if this is a toy – Corey said yes.  Zachary loves his Daddy – he likes Zachary to learn about all the cool tool stuff that Corey likes……..

 …..then we went in the house.  Zach loves to be read to.  Here he is bringing a book for me to read to him.  He then got in my lap and I read it.  His favorite book for Grandma to read right now is “The Wheels on the Bus”………….

I swear I didn’t do it!

I swear I didn’t do it!  Here is Carrie, looking guilty as guilty can be.  This yarn was wrapped around everything – a chest with Zach’s toys in it, a fan, the dining room table, the sofa – oh the fun they must have had.  In her defense, Chloe was right there with her but escaped the camera……..
