The McDonald Family

Thank you for visiting the McDonald Family Blog. Chris and Melissa were married May 21st 1999 in the LDS Las Vegas Temple. Our family includes Connor McDonald who Just turned 8 and gets baptized on August 16th. We also were blessed with twin girls Alexa and Eliza, who Just turned 6.
Many of our friends are aware of Alexa's rare heart condition. Alexa was born with Hypo plastic Left Heart Syndrome. HLHS is a heart condition in which the left ventricle is extremely small requiring 3 major open heart surgeries to rework the cardio plumbing. Alexa is a fun and smart kindergarten student who loves go carts, monkey bars, swings, slides, and whatever other risky behaviors she dares tries.
Eliza is Alexa's twin and let me tell you, she is a firecracker. She loves to sing, play Nintendo, race go carts, play tennis, soccer and anything she can win. She is very competitive like her brother and mother. Eliza's fun sense of humor and good looks has gotten herself a boyfriend named Mike. When Mike called my house I thought I am going to kick his little butt. I thought about the shot gun thing, changed it to an airsoft gun, then decided to give the kid a chance. I met his parents and to my surprise. I decided my 6 year old is not ready for a relationship. Eliza, non the less, will be breaking a lot of hearts. I figured I would get acquainted with fact Eliza will not be dating until the age of 35, and she may want to stay with us until she gets married. She is a great little girl.
Connor is 8 years old. he is getting baptised. Connor loves video games, school, and his family. Connor is a straight A student. Connor tested into the gate program at his school. Gate is a program for children who have a unique perspective of education.
