Hey everyone,
As some of you may know, I started a Web site about a year ago. I am in the process once again looking for pictures to put up on my site. The pictures that I am looking for are pictures that capture our BPI children doing things that may have one day seemed unlikely for them. Maybe it's pictures of swimming, dancing, riding bikes, playing instruments, playing sports, etc. If your BPI child is doing something inspirational like this I would love to include it on my Web site. I am going to have a section just for these accomplishments. Maybe it can hopefully give a positive vibe to others who feel like their children won't be able to accomplish things like this. If you would like to share a photo please send it to me!

Re: Can you help me?
I have the perfect picture of Ava for her 1 year pictures. I was trying to get her attention with my cell phone, I was kind of dangling it in front of her. Anyway when the pictures came back she has both hands straight in front of her reaching up. When I looked at the pics at the photographers, I started to cry. He thought he did something wrong, and then I explained that he had captured how much my little girl had accomplished in her 1st year of life!! I will send it to you.
Great idea, it is always important to speak of the postives from the injury as well ~ Tara
