Nicole Grace is walking!

Isn't she cute?


This post goes to all of the SMF families who prayed for her last year and who always ask me how she is doing!

Nicole Grace is 1 year old!

Here is my dearest friend Ginger, and her beautiful Nicole Grace, the day they came home from hospital. Nicole was 3 months old, and it was the first time she was at her home.

Today is a great celebration for our dear friends... I wish we could be with you!

Ginger's deep, strong Catholic faith has been an inspiration to all mothers. We love you!

Remember Nicole Grace?

How little she was? We all prayed so much and so wholeheartedly for her!

Well, look at her now! Numbers Two and Six couldn't put her down...

We were most generously hosted by her family last weekend: oh what joy to hold her, and to see her playing and moving all around! God is great indeed, and many are His Blessings!

The miracle: beautiful Nicole Grace

Her latest fashion is a baby helmet, duly decorated for the great saint's feastday last Saturday.

Remember when she was a lot smaller?

Nicole Grace is going home!

Sometimes in life we have this amazing, rewarding experience of seeing the fruits of God's grace: having prayed with the O'Donnell family since her premature birth ten weeks ago, it is just pure joy to receive the news of Nicole Grace's going home! Thanks for the phone call, Ginger!
God Be Praised for ever and ever!

The Memorare, for Nicole Grace O'Donnell

Please join our family as we pray this beloved prayer for baby Nicole, born on June 28th in Nebraska, weighing in at less than 1.5 lbs.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence,
We fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins our Mother;
to thee do we come,
before thee we stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer us.
Amen.
