Crazy!

It has been one crazy week. Of course, we celebrated Henry's birthday yesterday. We got some flowers and balloons, read him a couple stories. We dropped off toys at Children's Hospital that had been collected around Christmas. We have had articles in the Papillion Times and the Omaha World Herald (http://m.livewellnebraska.com/health/papillion-couple-organizes-blood-drive-to-honor--month-old/article_24d4e870-00f2-11e6-8767-5f2ad72b25b9.html?mode=jqm)  for the blood drive, plus our first radio appearance on The Bottom Line with Mike'l Severe (http://studio.omaha.com/TBL-Live-Well-Nebraska--Tim-and-Erin-Seretta--30625934?vcid=30625934&freewheel=91341&sitesection=omahawh) and our first live news appearance on WOWT News Midday. It has been a whirlwind of getting here and there...of sharing the blood drive...of telling Henry's story.

Although I am not necessarily one for the spotlight, these experiences are different. I have gotten to share my child, brag about him a little, say his name. We have been able to share what inspires us, which could inspire someone to donate blood for the first time...or even to appreciate something in their life a little more. We don't do this to celebrate what we have done, but to celebrate that certain monster who inspired us.

In case you haven't seen or heard (which is not possible if you follow this page!) our blood drive is TOMORROW at Faith Presbyterian, 8100 Giles. We have birthday treats, there will be wings for lunch, and we will have plenty of pictures and video of Henry if you need a little fix. We'd love to see you even if you aren't able to donate blood! This is our way of having a little birthday shindig for Henry. Come party with us!!
