Hello. As you might be aware, our family has been touched by the March of Dimes mission to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. That’s why we have formed a Family Team to raise money and participate in March for Babies. Please join us in our fundraising efforts today by sponsoring our event.
Contributing to our team online is fast, easy and secure. You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage.
Our family knows firsthand the challenges associated with prematurity. It is important to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it. By raising money, ongoing research to answer these critical questions is funded. When you support our Family Team, you show you care and you give hope for defeating premature birth and other threats to babies.
Please join us and millions of compassionate people across the country who support March for Babies each year. We need your help. Visit my webpage and sponsor our event!
With your support, there’s hope.
Thank You!

SEEMINGLY A LONG WEEK....
HOWDY AGAIN!! IT HAS BEEN A WHILE!!!
I have tried getting on here a bogging several times but I seem to get distracted very easily.. DOG GONE IT... I believe the teachers told me when I was younger it is called ADD... LOL
Let's see....
I believe that I told yall about Dad being on the chair of Rutherford County March for Babies. Well, Thursday night we went to the Kick off for march for babies in April.. It will be at MTSU.. I will get more info on this casue we will be having Samuel's team once again this year. Which is extremely exciting.. We already have Tee-shirts made from last year but I am hoping to do something a lil' more creative.. Like I said. My cousin Angela set it up last year and she is setting it up this year so I will be getting more info to you soon.
Sorry I am apologizing now if I jump around so much.. My emotions haved been high and low alot lately and I am blogging to get all my thoughts out...
On Thursday, We went to Maternal Fetal Group... And mother nature was not a problem when we made the appointment. They have never had problems running ultrasounds and tests b4 but leave it to my body and me to be complicated once again like the rest of the procedures I have had that we are supposed to be going back with in the next 2 weeks.. I can not be normal.. It is just normal for me to hear that now.. Dr. Fortunado does not want to mislead any of us and he and the whole practice is determined to get to the bottom of this..
Also on Thursday we went to Target to get one of Brad's coworkers some baby gifts. Pray for this family.. They are the Blaylock's and the just had twin lil' boys with in the last month.. And It is a great adjustment and blessing at the same time. While we were there we got lil baby tees for 50 cents.. It is awesome finding sells/ clearances like this..
Yesterday we went to Cool Springs goofing around.. And we ordered a new reclining chair and couch set.. I can not wait till it comes in.. Our couch we like but we like to recline and we are moving our living room around soon and just making our house a home.. Our current couch we are going to sell.. It was purchased in 2006 for almost $600. We would like to get $300 for it or best offer.. If you know of anyone that needs a couch it is a khaki color. Just email us at: btsnyder@att.net.....
Yesterday, we went to supper with my mom, dad, and neices.. They are adorable.. I would ask you to pray for my sisternlaws family.. My sister in laws MAWMAW is on her last days but hanging in there.. It is sad cause my neice was praying last night for her at dinner and on the way back home to mom and dad's we were talking cause she had just got off the phone with Gretchen (mysisnlaw, her mommy) and was saying that the nurse was still there with mawmaw.. And so we had the discussion with Lizzy and I said honey we have already prayed for the Lord's will to be done and the Lord is going to take of her.. She says I know but Tiff she told me she loves me smile and never to lose it.. I said that is right and you can keep on smiling through it even thought it hurts cause that means so much to her. She said Tiff she will be able to join Uncle Mike in heaven and I said yeah guess who else... She looked up and down and grabbed my hands and tears started to come out of my eyes and I said she get to spend time with Samuel in heaven before us and then we were discussing all the people that had gone to heaven and she started to feel better.. But she will be 7 this year and Lizzy is so smart and I know since MAW MAW has been sick she has been at maw maw's house everyday with Gretchen helping take care of her. So this is gong to be a hard loss on her.. May God give this family strength through this time.
Also, My cousins sister n law Ann Hayley is having surgery for colon cancer on Monday.. This as well as happened so fast. Ann is married and has two sons that are still in school not sure if they are even in High School yet.. So please pray for this family as well.. This was found out with in this month.
As I have jumped all over the place and getting all this out I am starting to feel a bit better but my heart is grieving for these sweet families and the unknown that will be happening with my reproductive system.. I just praise God that he has brought us this far and I know that he is working behind the scenes for our good whether we can see it now or not.. We must fight the good fight and keep our faith in HIM..

Hi Tiffany,
We love to help preemies where ever we can. But since we are such a small company we are not able to do big giveaways at this point. What we can do is give discounts to others that enable them to give more. So if you want to let those participating in your drive know that we are giving a discount of 20 to anyone who purchases preemie clothes from us. Our website doesn’t have the capability to do discounts so we will refund the 20% after purchase. All they need to do is send us an email or a comment on their order that is it for Samuel’s Legacy Drive we will know to send then the 20% off. I will also post your drive on my blog so others can know what you are doing and maybe help you that way. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
Best Wishes,

Her list of Items to give on to thier NICU is:

gas cards
blankets
disposable cameras
phone cards
journals
What would you include for us to consider?
What do you think we should call it?
We are going to get the ideas and compile them and hopefully have an idea by summer and get it out there..
