heart sisters

Along this journey, beautiful friendships have blossomed. This special relationship for our family began in March 2008. I met Teagan's dad in the Tully's coffee line at the hospital and her mama in the cafeteria. Oddly enough, Trent and I already knew one another from our high school rodeo days and after a quick converstion, we quickly learned that our newborn daughters were both born with complex broken hearts and our homes were just over an hour apart from one another.

Now almost five years later, I've cherished watching this friendship grow. I like to refer to them as heart sisters. These girls are opposites in many ways...Maddie is tall- Teagan is petite, Maddie is blue-eyed & blond-Teagie has brown-eyes & is brunette, Maddie's missing her right ventricle - Teagan's missing her left ventricle. But despite their differences, these girls have so much more in common... they share a silver line down their chests...a zipper. They share a similar story, they share doctors, their birthday's are a week apart, they only have brothers, they love Tangled and princesses, and together they make one, complete whole heart. These two are both tough, spunky and determined. I've loved watching them grow up together and enjoy dreaming about them spending a week at Heart Camp together someday! The Maxwell's are a special family and we're so thankful God arranged this beautiful friendship for our sweet girls and for our families.

 They loved shopping at Claire's and finding these BFF "half-heart" necklaces!
