Ok, that photo does my heart good. Being a mommy looks so good on you, sister! Ms. Fran will be happy to see the little peanut wrapped in frogs.
Slow and steady, little Ella…slow and steady. Sleep well – Love you – T

Amen beloved ones. We share your urgent faithful prayers. Ella is ever cute. Par and the other babies are in our hearts too. God bless us all through these miracles. Xoxoxo

Ella, I can tell that you are sure loving all this attention lately. You deserve it “Gator Girl” and keep those baby steps forward coming. I am praying for you and Par tonight and will check on you tommorrow. Love, Grandpa!!!!!!!

Oh cuddle time isn’t it the best!!! Ella sure seems to be enjoying it. Ella Bun, most of us have to wait years to get our first massage. You Go Little Girl!! 🙂
Praying for the strength of your lungs, the reflux to subside and blessing on the rest of the gang in the NICU.
Love you to, Roxie

Dear Father – Please hold these special babies in Your tender care. Provide each of them the strength to overcome their challenges. Be with their caretakers and parents and provide them strength and the peace of Your love. Amen. Daily thoughts and prayers are with each of you – many hugs – Steve and Joan

You are right Terri…I am and have been all along happy to see the little peanut surrounded in frogs as we know what those letters stand for…..Fully Rely On God. Or one step further…Froggie, Fully Rely On God’s Grace In Everything.
Blessings and prayers continue for Ella, Josh and Tina, Par and his parents. Lord, we pray that Ella’s lungs continue to get stronger and the reflux subsides. Also that Par is able to avoid ECMO.

This is the cutest picture ever…Ella knows where she belongs…Miss you guys!

Fran, I love your meaning of FROG! Does that mean Fran Jarrett (FJ) stands for Friend of Jesus? 🙂
Tina, you look beautiful holding your daughter. Happy Mothers Day!!! Who says it needs to be May??
Fran Jarrett on November 6th, 2007 at 3:46 pm #
Thanks Kelli but someone else came up with that meaning. They were inspired by Isaiah 26:4.
Josh, it is amazing that you didn’t catch your little bun smiling this time but we all know Ella is absolutley adorable in every photo you take! And Tina, you couldn’t look more beautiful and at ease than with your little one cradled in your arms. Love to all.

Ella’s smiles are especially wonderful! We’re smiling too and thanking the good Lord for her steady progress! Prayers for Par also! Gloria & Red
