We are moving which has me in the mood to decorate. I’ve been looking at different products online and found some awesome stuff… head on over to my giveaway site for a chance to win a $70 gift certificate to a great online store.
I am already a follower of your blog. I can’t remember how I found your blog but I’ve been reading since shortly after Ryan was born. It may have been from Kelly’s Korner–not sure though. 🙂
I found your blog via a link on a friend’s facebook page. She had posted the “I’m praying for Ryan” picture and link and I saw it and just clicked on it to see what it was. I have been checking up on you guys ever since! I even went back and read the earlier “baby boy” postings retroactively. – Ashley (the same one who posted a long-winded response about ideas to spend time with the kids, lol)
I am a follower I don’t comment lots, but I have been reading ur blog for about the past year. I enjoy reading about ur amazing kids. Every kid is a miracle, but some just get to live that miracle a little more than others! Lindsey
I found your blog when MckMama asked us to pray for Ryan. I then realized that I know Henry from childhood (my maiden name is Rexroth). Small world. I love reading your blog. Am praying for your family in this transition. I can identify in so many ways.
I honestly can’t remember where I found your blog, it was another blogger that I read, but the night I found it I was up until after midnight reading… and picked up again with my morning coffee and again at nap time.I am still trying to catch up… the tears and smiles and laugh out loud, you have it all and a beautiful family!
I love these stores! We just ordered the kids some super cute school desks from there. It would be great to win the giveaway though for some baby stuff! 🙂 And I found your blog from you writing me a sweet email in reply to a comment I left on someone else’s blog about marriage. It amazed me that you so un-selfishly reached out to me after I found out what all you were going through! (Ryan wasn’t even born yet)Thanks for being a great blogger and encouragement to me.
Hmm, I heard you had a blog, maybe at a family function? Anyways, I knew you had a blog for a while but didn’t start reading regularly until around the time Ryan was born.
Dunno if my email is on my profile or not, so here it is (spaced out):
I don’t really remember how I found your blog! I am relatively certain it was from MckMama’s blog when Ryan was around 5 months old! I fell in love with your baby & your family and have been reading ever since! I would love to win this giveaway! My family & I have been in our new home for about 1 1/2 years and we still have not decorated!
I can’t remember how I found your blog either – but I’ve been a reader for several months now and L O V E your positive outlook on life. It is refreshing and I wish you do more introspective posts…you amaze me. Patty hislil1@hotmail.com
Honestly, I’m not sure how I found your blog. It may have been through MckMama’s? But I really have no clue. Either way, I’m glad I do because I look forward to reading it. You make me think, if she can do it, for the love of goodness, so can I!
I found your blog through my friend Sara, whose little boy Aron had hypoplastic left heart syndrom. I think she goes to church with some of your relatives. caskrichardsonathotmaildotcom
I have been a follower for almost a year in a half now, and I found it through your brother-in-law(ryan) who I went to college with for a while. He posted to pray for little Ryan and i have been faithfully reading yoru blog ever since 🙂
I found this blog because I was working at Children’s National Medical Center and met Leighann. She gave me the address to this blog so I could learn a little more about Ryan’s story. I’ve been reading it ever since!
rah rah shish koom bah! go leighan! you’re awesome! 🙂 i found your blog because you’re my sister and you gave me the address when it was loveabean katie
Stephanie S – the giant is a little over 6’9″. To get an idea of how tall that is, a standard door is 6’8″. So he is a little over that… and he is as broad as a standard door too! I am almost 5’6″ and half the width of a door. 🙂
Well, let’s see, I think it was Janice Alwell/Keaton who gave me your blog and I have been following faithfully ever since. I just showed my mom a picture of Ryan last week and she was blown away by how well he was looking and how big he has gotten.
I have been following your blog for a yr. and came apon it b/c of a project that I had to do for college. I would love love that gift card for the britax seat my daughter needs a new one. You are a true inspiration to me. I don’t know how you multi-task like you do and i could use some lessons.
I am a follower… and yeah, I do remember you following me and contacting me when you had the other blog… love a bean… and we started writing then… 🙂
Oh Leighann you are a outstanding mommy, and wife. You are s wonderful cook, I should know I have been cooking the cabbage and taters atleast once a week since you posted it.
I am a stalker oops I mean follower, I am not sure how I found your blog someone praying for Ryan when he was going thru his surgeries, but I do have to say I have been praying ever since.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while, though now I can’t remember how I found it… Either MckMama or Kelly’s Korner…
Regardless, I love your blog! I love reading the updates about Ryan (and the girls), but especially love how you always point to Christ.
And I love CSN – we’ve purchased a kitchen sink (random, right?!) and a car seat from their affiliate stores. 🙂
