Chambers

Meet Chambers. Isn't she about the cutest thing you've ever seen?  I had the pleasure of photographing her last week, along with her big brother Gram and sister Eliza.  I don't know when I've had so much fun.  Today Chambers is at Children's Hospital having heart repair surgery. I know you will join me in sending prayers, sweet thoughts and much love her way!

UPDATE: Chambers cames through surgery beautifully and is already off her breathing tube and Mom says she's already sporting her pink bow again! :)

New Digs

The Children's Hospital here in Birmingham is a wonderful place. It's so wonderful that it has outgrown its present facility.  Sunday on my way downtown, I pulled over to get a shot of the new wing that is coming right along. I love the brightly colored accents on the front.  Their website here, puts the completion date at August, 2012. I'll be there!

Magic City Art Connection - Where the Wild Things Are!

This past weekend I visited one of my favorite art events.. Magic City Art Connection.  I went not once, but twice!  Saturday I visited the children's art area, and my grandson Davis made a terrific clay MONSTER!  These delightful creations will be fired and put on display at the new Children's Hospital when it opens. Bravo MCAC for all the art opportunities you offered to the children of our city.

Reflection

* While I am in France, I have asked some of my photography friends to share some of their fine work with you. I hope you will leave them comments. I'm sure they will enjoy hearing from you as much as I do! While I'm gone I will be blogging on Paris Through My Lens. Stop by and follow my adventures in France!!!

This week's guest photographer Doug Stocks, has captured a VERY special place here in Birmingham. The Children's Hospital takes very very good care of our city's youngest. How fortunate we are to have it as part of our UAB Health System.

If you haven't already visited Doug's terrific website, please do so.

Bunnies and Kittens and Lilly, Oh My!

Many of my longtime readers will remember this precious child.  Last October,  I featured my dear friends' daughter Lilly right before she had her first cochlear implant at Children's Hospital. We are so very thankful that she has hearing in that ear now!  Yesterday her mommy asked me to take more photos before her second surgery scheduled for today.  I am blessed.   Lilly, we are praying for you and send all of our love your way!
