We are so gracious for any support you could provide. Checks can be made payable to Wyatt Adkins Heart Organization. Email me if you need mailing information or have questions. We have limited space for teams and can email you a PDF invitation.

Funds raised for the Wyatt Adkins Heart Organization will be used for two main projects, one project being the ScrapPacks Ministry. This ministry presents heart families with a package of scrapbook materials where they can construct a display for their child, complete with their name and photo. To date, these ScrapPacks have blessed over 350 patients receiving treatment at Nationwide Children's Hospital.

In addition, the WAHO has entered the planning stages for the construction of a playground. This playground will be located in the Village of Hanover and will honor Wyatt by providing local children with a play space for generations to come.

The time that we were able to spend with Wyatt has impacted our lives tremendously and it is our hope to allow his spirit to live on by giving to others in his honor.

Thanks for supporting us in this ongoing endeavor, Shane and Beth

Beach Beauties

Is there anything better than beach pictures of your children? I think not. We are enjoying every bit of summer with the kids.

A milestone

Yes, today is your special day!

You walk, talk, smile, and we love spending every minute with you.

Did 365 days really just pass by?

Was it really a year ago today that we were

welcoming this amazing new life into our family?

We are in love with you Carson!

Its your party and

you can cry if you want to. We'll still love you.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Change is good, right?

Before

The big snip...

After

This precious love donated her beautiful locks to Locks of Love. We are so proud of her! As we discussed where her hair would go and how it would benefit others who are sick, she was more than eager to participate. A little girl with a big heart.

Carson update: @ 10 1/2 months---

He talks, he walks, and he stalks...the toliet paper! Yikes! He was able to make this mess in 30 seconds. Change is good...I think?

Happy Easter

Children are a gift from the Lord. Psalm 127:3

And we praise Him because He conquered the grave!

The stats

Our sweet little Carson!

Although I'm a month behind, I thought I would share Carson's 9 month stats...

very strong, very long, and very many teeth

No, really...

22 pounds

30 inches

8 teeth

Carson LOVES table food and will eat anything he can get his hands on. He is crawling everywhere, cruising around the furniture and will probably be walking very soon. He adores his big sister and will do whatever it takes to get to her. He says, "Mama and Dada." We stand amazed at what a blessing he is and how fast he grows and changes.

Oh, and the most important chracteristics--

Wild and fun!

Sensitive and chatty,

Cute and smiley.

The word "thanks" isn't enough

Drumroll please...........

all the receipts have been counted and we have a total for our 1st annual :) A Night for Hearts. Thanks to everyone who supported the cause and opened their hearts we were blessed to raise $15,000 in one evening! Yes, that's right! We are speechless, shocked, and excited about the possibilities. It was a perfect evening in which we able to share our love for Wyatt with family and friends. His "special" heart certainly brings out a special side in all of you.

We will keep you updated about future fundraisers and the plans for the park and playground as they unfold. Please keep this project in your prayers as it comes with a big price tag and we know it will take several years until we see the fruits of our labor.

Thank you again to all who donated, attended, and prayed for this event.

Heart hugs, The Adkins Family
