And the Winner is...

Shaina of just because I Am Me. I will have to try some of the recipes on her blog!

I had so many sweet comments on the blog! How exciting. And such varied responses to Henry's pacemaker purpose from Heart Block to being a rambunctious toddler- all of which were correct!

The really good news is that Henry's heart block seems to have resolved. We will know more in January and even more in June of 2009. Until then we just keep up the good vibes on a totally healed heart!

Bib and Burp Giveaway

It's Giveaway Day! I am participating in Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day. I am offering a pink and brown bib and burp set. Both are backed with pink chenille and the bib has a Velcro closure.
I am willing to ship internationally. The colors look washed out since I took the photo at night with a flash. It is cuter in person!
To win, leave a comment on this post telling why Henry the Fifth has a pacemaker. (hint: check here.) Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you, either by email or thru your own website. I do not SPAM, nor will I forward a bunch of annoying emails to you.
The winner will be picked from among the correct answers using a random number calculator.
