I'm in! What a great contest for a Fryday! It seems like a bit of an answer to prayer really...you will have to check out my blog, but I have started an outreach of my own reaching out to families who have received a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome or a diagnosis at the birth of their baby. Anyhow, the new blog header would be such a blessing. (Not to mention the fun photography goodies for my new camera!)

Thanks for the fun contest and for sharing some more darling photos of Small Fry!

Nutty mom-- said...

Too cool! String of Pearls is awesome. I'm so thankful Stellan is doing so well!

Elaine said...

My post is up.. You are amazing, and I would love to help get it done. Small fry is adorable.

Andrea said...

allyzabba said...

I love a good contest! My hubby would love new camera goodies...he has a Canon EOS Rebel XTi. Thanks for the fun!

Mommy to those Special Ks said...

My post is up! (And this is my first time posting here but I've been reading for a long time and praying every day!) :)

Candace Jean July 16 said...

This is very strange....no, I just called it a Godwink. Read #5 on my post this evening. I had to go back and update it with your link!

We will also pray for you when you have that camera surgically removed from your hands!

Uncle Duke coming back?

MelArcile said...

This is my first time entering one of your contests or commenting on your blog. I've been following your blog only for just a short time, but I've fallen in love with your amazing, miraculous story andn your children. Please, keep telling the world about your God who still works miracles today!

Jessie said...

Midwest Mommy said...

Believe it or not this is the second time I have blogged about you today :-)
My readers are going to think I am a stalker.

E said...

Okay, my Small Fry Contest post is up and runnin'. =0) I used her picture cuz its too cute and hopefully it'll be more eye-catching that way. Just don't scroll below her pic. [tee hee]

She looks MUCH better in three pigtails than I do!

Jen said...

Count me in too :-) The pics you take are amazing, sure helps that you have adorable subjects though ;-)

Mamasita Chimichanga said...

Ok...my post is up! I am LOVIN' a contest! I think my dream give away gift from Mrs. MckMama would be you photographing my large family....just in case you need any prize suggestions when you run out?!?!?

Lovin' the Small Fry pics....

Adrienne said...

Hi MckMama, I apologize in advance, this comment is completely erroneous to your post... I hoped to identify an email link on your sidebar, but didn't see one upon my quick perusal? I'm sorry if I missed it... eek!

Anywig, in a random "thumb through" of the interwebs this evening, I found this: http://babycheapskate.blogspot.com/ and thought of you... not because you seem a cheapskate, but because its all things baby and you represent all things baby in my mind... :) She's got a lot of advertising, and a lot of "high-tech" stuffs, but some potentially brilliant discounts. This is the longest comment ever. Have a great weekend!

Denise said...

I just wrote about this contest in my blog! I just adore reading your blog! So fun and your daughter, to stinking cute!

:)

Amy said...

Oh how fun! I love Small Fry's beautiful eyes... she is such a cutie!! My goodness! I am so in on this contest! Yes! Yes!

Been trying to teach myself Photo Shop Pro and how to make my own template and well.... it's not working out so well...not yet! :)
I would love a makeover!

Amy

SRC said...

I'm a long time reader but first time commenter. My contest entry is posted. I'm a huge fan of your blog and have been praying for Baby Stellan and your entire family. I am so glad he is well. If you read my blog, you'll see I have been busy with my own little miracle these past few months. Thanks for being such an inspiration.

E said...

Oh just you wait. Someday Small Fry shall style YOUR hair too! I may even forward her Riley's hair gel secrets. {{giggle}}

Sherah said...

Count me in! My blog could use a header in the worst way! :-)

Amie said...

Seriously, could she be any cuter?! I can just see her going "muuuahh!"

My Small Fry post is alive an' kickin'!

(for some reason my profile won't let anyone view it)

Yay! Being as I LOVE to take pictures, am in need of a blog header makeover, and visit your blog regularly...upon stumbling on this contest, I posted about this on our blog right away! So fun :)

How great that you and PC have the heart to bless others. What an AMAZING testimony this blog is to the Lord! I am so blessed to know that "Stellan will live!" We serve a Mighty God!

Keep livin' for Him girl! God has blessed us all tremendously!

Carla said...

I am in--post is on my blog! Small Fry is so scrumptious...just want to gobble her up.

Jessi said...

Seriously, can Little Miss M get any cuter? I just love it when babies first learn to blow kisses and use their *whole* hand. :-)

Oh, how I could use a new blog header....so we're good to go on my blog, now I just need my comment to be "the chosen one". ;-)

Blessings...happy moving.

t h a i t r a i t said...

Well, I'm not sure who Jeff Probst is, but I dew like be part of the hype when I can, so dew stop by and take a gander, and I dew hope your home is nice and winterized for your new guest. And I dew want to thank you for admiring our dedication to TKD. I destroyed my toe there tonight. It'll be normal by Monday, mehopes.

Kait Toompas said...

I could use a blog make over as well! I love reading your blogs. You are one funny Mama! Your blogs remind me daily how important it is to keep my relationship with God and to keep my sense of humor with my kids! Thanks so much for making me laugh!!

table for two said...

What great pictures of Small Fry! I couldn't help but smile! :)

Stacy C. said...

So this is the first time I have taken part in one of your wonderful giveaways! So hopefully I will have beginners luck!! Love the pics of SmallFry!!!

kristyo15 said...

Count me in....she is such a cutie pie! I'm hoping I find a Canon 40-D in my Christmas stocking, so the goodies would be nice!

P.S. You are my idol...4 under 4, wow. You make my 2 look like a walk in the park! :)

In awe,

I've let my family in on my addiction to your blog. Your blog inspires me on a regular basis and Stellan's miracle birth strengthen my Faith!!

Jenny said...

My post is up! I really want to win this one! You see, we are finally are closing on our house, and after this huge 6 months ordeal I deserve to treat myself. I am treating myself to a new camera, so this contest is right up my alley. :D You are the bloggy best, MckMama!

Katey said...

phewww 3 minutes left in Fryday on the west coast :)
my post is up

Heather said...

I posted mine just in the nick of time in Washington!!

I have to admit, I don't need a new header (I slaved away one night and made my own!), and while I love cameras and everything that goes with them, I don't really need anything. But I'm posting and commenting anyway because I am addicted (as we all are) to your musings about your MSC (among other things!).

By the way, I saw Small Fry's colorful romper at the Gap the other day and actually thought, If I had MckMama's address, I'd buy that for Small Fry and send it her way. It's SO you.

Talysa said...

Post is up...can't help but hear "muah" when i see these pics of Smallfry! By the way, thanks for the camera info you gave a while back...I went with the new Rebel Xsi...and threw in a Telephoto Lens as a treat to myself...it's on the way now and I am stoked! I just may not sleep for 3 days when I get it I'm thinking! :-)

I love your story. I linked to your site on my last post. I played with the ISO on my camera last night and today and the pics on this post are what resulted. Thanks a ton for your story, your contests and your tips. Love reading, don't ever stop.

Rachel said...

I was just thinking last night that I needed a new header..I haven't been at blogging too long and haven't spent time on mine.
Thanks for sharing these adorable pictures of Small Fry!

Thanks for the tips!

Tote, Debby, Sammy and Caleb Jimenez said...

Fun Fun Fryday!! (actually Saturday since my little ones kept me away from my puter till now!=)

Magoon Family said...

Very neat! I'm all linked up...

Love love love that dress she is wearing. Where did you get it? My little princess would be so cute in that. Not to mention that it looks oh-so-warm! Especially since it's in the 20's her (during the day!!!)

Lisa said...

I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity for free goodies and who doesn't love a good contest!?! Small Fry is so precious... I love how she is blowing kisses (too stinkin cute).

My post is up and I hope to hear from you soon : )

Beth E. said...

I have a blog and would love a new blog header, but my camera is not the kind that needs lenses. Would I still qualify for the contest?

The pictures of Small Fry are just adorable! She is just precious...as are all of your children. Seeing pictures of them brings a smile to my face.

Please count me in.

Alicia said...

My post is up! Hope I'm not too late.

I would SO love to win! I could really use some goodies for my camera! :)

JR - A Green Eyed Gurl.... said...

I did as you requested. You will never know how deeply you and your family have touched my heart. I have to confess, I keep reading the prayer request post and lifting all of those precious souls up in prayer. There are some who have touched my heart deeply and I perhaps pray more for them than others, but I have a sneaking feeling that is all part of God's plan through you.

Here is my link:

My post is up, and you have one happy baby girlie there.

zanesmommy said...

Well of course I would love a new header for my blog! Plus, I love coming here to see how wonderful God is and how He does answer prayers in the way He sees best.

Brittany said...

I am done girlfriend! How fun!!! I better win, cause I need a new header, and some photography goodies wouldn't hurt AT ALL since I just got a nikon D1.
Thank you ma'am for hosting a fun contest...and who better to run it, but small fry...TOO CUTE!

Jenna said...

Oh how you have taught my another lesson! I've been wondering how you link text and now I'm loving it. Check out my blog. It needs a lot of work and a few lessons to go along with it. SmallFry's eyes are an amazing blue. She's still too adorable for words and I don't think she'll ever grow out of that. So here I am still wondering who the new "renter" will be... I guess I'll stay tuned for now.

Meg said...

Small Fry is so cute! Cannot wait to hear who the new renter is. Thanks again for sharing your inspirational story with us and appeasing us with so many updates. Oh and your contests are always lots of fun!

JR - A Green Eyed Gurl.... said...

P.S. - Did I happen to mention how much I would love a blog header? I have come a long way with this blog design stuff, you have no idea how scary I can be with a computer, but the blog header has me stumped.

Vicky said...

And thank you for "blessing" us with a contest! Especially a clever one with the delightful small fry! I just clicked over to make sure the link worked. Thanks for the fun!

Miss Lila in Atlanta said...

Good Morning from Atlanta Georgia.

I just found your blog today Sat. Nov. 22, 2008 and I LOVE it. My goodness what gorgeous children!
Do their grandparents live nearby?
I certainly hope so. I can't imagine having these for grandchildren and not being able to hug and kiss and buy toys for them.
I don't have a blog yet, (soon) but I have 8 beautiful grandkids and I think they will be the topic of my new blog, since I'm not creative, I hate to cook, I take rotten pictures, and I don't like to clean house (although of course I do it) BUT I am one heck of a GREAT Nannie!! LOLI'll be following you everyday to keep up with these fantastic kids.
Thank you for sharing them with us.

Miss Lila in Atlanta

Amanda said...

This is too cool and Small Fry is too cute!! This is a terrific way to Hype up your blog. I've been a silent lurker for months. Your amazing faith is an inspiration and I love reading your stories.
My "Probst" is up;)

ashleyjnc said...

Simply Irresistable.. she is soooooo cute! I think the "renter" may be your.... mom!?

Monica said...

This is my first time to join the content fun. I have been reading your blog for a while now. I'm kind of addicted to it. I try to check it everyday. I'm really interested in your photography lesson posts since we just bought a new camera...and we know nothing about it. So keep the lessons coming. I'm excited about learning more about photography so I can capture great memories as our son grows up. I have attach a link to my blog.

ehardin said...

Thanks for the goodies.
If you only knew the drama to make the link! I am not techno savvy at all!
I am totally interested in the camera treats.
I do have a question. I LOVE LOVE LOVE photography. I am thinking about getting started with a little business. What camera would you suggest and what tips would you have to get going?
So glad your family is adjusting well. I am truly amazed and the work God has done in your life lately.
Thanks for letting me be a part of the journey!

:o) said...

Alright, I'm linked!!!

Jaime said...

I got all excited about entering this contest because I had never entered one of yours before. I hurried over to my blog and posted about it and then forgot to come back over here and say that I posted. So I am back this morning to let you know I posted on my blog last night.

I LOVE your blog.

www.jaimeandrick.blogspot.com
my blog is about my husband who has some very serious health problems. One of which is considered terminal.

Shanna said...

I'm linked. :) Small Fry is such a cutie!

Kristina Petrella said...

definitely love the sweater small fry is wearing, although her cuteness definitely is the star of the photo! what a cutie! thanks for the contest.... :-) have a great weekend and btw all the ski places opened this weekend and we are supposed to get between 4 and ten inches by tomorrow!

jenniferandrews said...

Just found your blog from my friend Heidi over at Minnesota Mom - love it, and I think I'm adding it to my blogroll.

My header is just plain sad, and I'm a photography nut (hoping to eventually start my own business when I get my act together), so this contest is right up my ally!

mom24boys said...

FUN! Post is created and I was energized again as I told your story to my friends and family and encouraged them to visit you and your MSC here. String of Pearls is such a worthy cause. I pray for your continued success in sharing your story.

bradsmom123 said...

Thank you Thank you Thank you Mckmama!! I have been reading your amazing story everyday for many months. I have been following since you first got the 'bad' news about Stellan. I actually did a linky thingy - thanks to you!! I wanted to enter your contest for once and since I didn't have to come up with some incredible witty idea this time ( I can't compare with some of your readers) I decided to try this one. It's my very first linky and I did it!!!
Thank you for all you share with us. I thoroughly enjoy reading about your family.
My blog is very boring and plain because I just don't know technology so I am hoping to win to get some help from you!!

Jenn said...

Done! Yay for contests!
(I linked on my Sam & Charlotte blog.)

Holly said...

Well, I think I've got it going. I have so much fun reading your blog--that I found through Angie's.
We all have a story somewhere, some are just better story tellers!!!
Thanks.

momof2greatboys said...

What a cute little girly you have! My blog needs some pizzazz added to it. Of course, my readership could stand to increase as well. :-) I think about 4 people read my blog. It's more for me to get thoughts down and out of my head.

Annie said...

Sounds like a fun one! :) I'll post something for the great cause!! Hope you're able to raise some amazin money! :)

Melissa :) said...

Ok I'm cracking up @ Mrs. K's comment. LOL Too funny. And fun. :)

I want in! I'd think I'd pass out if I actually won something. :)

I took photos of my baby too, with a white background! Um....yours are better than mine. Not the baby though. ROFLOLOLOL! I'm a mom, I'm supposed to say that. :)

Southern Wife said...

I hope I'm not too late!! I've posted over at www.asouthernwife.blogspot.com. Thanks MckMama!!

Julie said...

How do you choose the winner? Can I vote? My buddy's post on The Nut House (http://talesfromafewnuts.blogspot.com/) was hilarious! You know that since you commented. But she loves photography (used to work at a studio) and her blog would look great with a new header. It would be awesome if she won. Or if you randomly choose and I win, I'd like her to have the prize. She'd love those winnings!

Robin said...

How exciting!!! I just linked to your post in my 100th post!

And Small Fry is absolutely beautiful...as usual :o)!

I've recently did a post on one of my hobbies - origami with the intent to post about some of my other hobbies - crocheting and digital scrapbooking. Your contest made me think about another hobby I have - blog reading. So I did a post and told about the blogs I read. Hope you find it interesting! Gay

Love Small Fry's latest pics!!!!

Kahla said...

Small Fry is so stinkin' cute!! Totally makes me want a little girl! Count us in and check us out!!!!

Aimee and I said...

Mckmama,

We would like to link our blogs together with our button to gain some more prayer warriors. I have already added yours to mine. Here is a quick update...

Aimee and I (Adam), have been traveling what seems to be one of the toughest, but most inspiring journeys we have ever faced. Below is a quick story of what we have been through and a link to our precious miracle's site. I hope you can share it on your website to give families hope.

After 3 months in to our pregnancy, Aimee and I received the bad news that our baby was not going to survive the pregnancy. We met with numerous Doctors who felt it was only a matter of time before she was going to die. We were told to live our life as normal as possible and there was nothing we could possibly do. One Doctor even said to go home and drink a glass of wine and to go exercise if we feel that would make us feel better. The Doctors seemed to be more concerned with our mental capacity on how we are going to handle our baby’s death. If we heard, “This is not your fault” one more time, we were going to go insane.

I don’t think there was an illness that Kayleigh wasn’t diagnosed with. Our baby was diagnosed at very high risk of Down Syndrome, Spin bifida, other possible Chromosomal Abnormalities, Cardio Effusion, A hole in the heart, Liver and Bowel diseases, and Aimee had a partially torn placenta which prevented normal growth and the cause a handful of other issues. By the sounds of all that from a professional who sees these issues everyday, what could we do? If we didn’t have God in our lives to help our decisions, we would have terminated the pregnancy in a heart beat because this baby may not survive and if it does, it will live a horrible life. We couldn’t argue with a Doctor, someone with a superior level in the educational field, the highest paid care provider who is supposed do whatever it takes to save lives. They said there was nothing we could do. They were wrong!

Kayleigh Anne Freeman was born at 28 weeks, 10 inches long, weighing 470 grams (1 lb.1 oz). She has so far been through Stage 3 ROP surgery, Gastrointestinal Exploratory Surgery, Cardiac Cath Procedure and Open Heart Surgery to fix a VSD. She is still fighting strong and we hope to bring her home soon. Here is her video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M97YwPOM7g

Kayleigh's website will show people there is hope, there is a chance, and there is life. While Aimee and I were going through this roller coaster of emotions, we met some of the most wonderful people in the world through other blogs. They helped us by sharing their miracle stories to show us that God is in charge and no matter what a doctor told us, we weren't giving up. Kayleigh has touched the lives of so many people and with her story, we want to continue to do just that. If people don’t know we are out there to give a helping hand, they may not fight to save the life of their baby. Kayleigh would not be with us if it weren’t for the people who gave us hope and for God, who is always in complete control. So no matter what people are going through, "Kayleigh's Story" will strengthen them. God Bless!

How fun! I love blogging and you have just given me an excuse to post twice in one morning. I hope you get a chance to check my family out. We have three kids under the age of 2, so we experience a lot of what you write about.

Charissa said...

I linked you on my blog...http://www.lifeofcharissa.blogspot.com/

I can not wait to see if I won! I also wanted you to know...how truly inspiring you are. Though I'm sure you don't feel that way you have inspired me greatly!

Thank you!!!

Charissa

Laura said...

You are the best...must be the warm, cuddly nights with your sweet Stellan that makes your thoughts swirl around! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve! Snuggle Stellan for me! xox

karina said...

Mck Mama,
I'm all linked up to you.

I want you to know how deeply it touches me that you want to support String of Pearls. They are helping my niece through her prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18, so it touches me personally. Thank you.

I also can't wait to see what you have in mind.

If SOP receives anything from this, then I am already a winner of this contest, but if I actually won, well, that would be icing on the cake!

Did I say thank you? Oh, well, THANK YOU!

Trisha V. said...

I have enjoyed so many things about your blog. And I love to hear all about the little happy meal you are raising over there. Keep up all the fun posts!! I love them!

Karen said...

Isn't motherhood the best thing you could ever experience?
We have posted a link and hope to share your story with others.
God bless,
Karen

Staci said...

My post is up and if the link in the post didn't work I mentioned clicking on the buitton on my sidebar so it should be linked twice.

Richard and Becky said...

I love your blog! Love the contests! Thanks for being honest, real, and encouraging!

Lianna Knight said...

Awesome idea for a post title! Check out my blog...Growing Our Own Garden...I could surely use a new header :)

Love your blog, it's so encouraging! Been following it since late summer.

Ethan, Zach, and Emma's Mom said...

I'M SO EXCITED! My post is up at http://ethanzachemma.blogspot.com/2008/11/small-fryday-contest.html
I posted your picture of Miss M, hope you don't mind, she's just too cute!

Blessed said...

What a great contest idea! I love reading your blog and would love to win any of the prizes, especially anything for my new camera.
Thank you for inspiring, building faith by being a great messenger of God, and writing honestly with feeling. I really enjoy your sense of humor that shows through your writing.
p.s. I think it is funny how you like to "build up the suspense" for your readers by leaving us hanging wondering things like who your new renter is...clever, very clever. :)

Jessi -in love with her boys:) said...

Oh I cant even tell you how excited I am about this. I am linked so yeah:) I just want to say that I have been following your story through Bring The Rain and I have been praying for you and am so happy just grateful for your little miracle.
Thanks for the chance to get some goodies,
Lots of love from Texas:)

BluRayn said...

Kenzie said...

Hey girl-

I thought I had your email but now I can't find it so I figured I would just post here. :) Thanks so much for your prayers for us... Faith Clare has been such a blessing, especially through some of the hard memories these last few days. That is CRAZY about her and Stellan's weights and when you mentioned his 2 week birthday... wow... I didn't even realize it but yep, Stellan's b-day is the day after Deacon's and my kiddos b-days are 2 weeks and one day apart!

Okay, so my question for you... as we have been changing FC's diapers for the last 10 days, all I can think about is how many we are going through EVERY DAY! UGH. Okay, so the question is this... cloth diapers?? What are your recommendations. I think you've posted about it before but I wanted your advice before I venture into it on my own.

Thanks girl! Love ya and who knows... maybe Stellan and Faith Clare need to meet some day! :)

Kenzie

Melissa@MamaMonoblogs said...

Ramblings of a Crazy Mom said...

I love the last two pictures of Smallfry. She looks like she's about to eat something. I posted her FRYDAY contest. Thanks for having such an honest, fun, and God centered blog. I really enjoy reading it.

Staci said...

Hi again! I already posted earlier to let you know I linked to you in my blog. I didn't mention the contest in my post though. I wasn't sure if that was the purpose or to get more people to read about MckMuffin the MckMiracle :) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the post and by the way...I just saw your new header and it is fabulous! Did Big Mac get another haircut? I also love the pic you used of Small Fry. You've got one cute Happy Meal there MckMama.

Britt said...

Need a free babysitter? I'm always up for a challenge. haha. I love reading your blog and will continue to pray for your family.

Christine said...

Fun! I'm in and the post is up. :) Maybe after the contest...you might share how we can make one of those headers. Or how do I get 3 columns on my blog? Anyone know? I'm fairly new to the blogging world. :)

Aww Big Mac's haircut is adorable. He doesn't look nearly as blonde now. Love your new header. Everytime you change the pics I can tell the biggest difference in them. So sweet!

Suz said...

Well hello! newbie here.. I just happened upon... and love your blog. I haven't had time to read about Stellan and your story.. but it sounds like the Lord has quite a testimony in all of this... so, win or not, I'm honored to share the link...
(but would love that header!) --as I have been wanting one and and cannot yet afford it (for my dd and my photo blog site that we want to build with the utmost class, spunk beauty and personality!.. We believe that as artists the Lord's people we should strive to never have inferior looking photo sites-- but as His Children... we should have the most creative and the very highest quality sites!
~as we seek to honor Him with our work and inspire others to shoot for Him! sharing His creation and beauty.. each individully (as He created all of us! so as to reflect His glory and spread His word!)
Blessings to you all!
