Oh my, what a day!!!

Today was an interesting day in our home.  Our day started at 2:15 AM, when we woke to hear Logan still awake.  That means that Logan was awake from 7:30 AM YESTERDAY, yes, he was awake from 7:30 Wednesday morning to Thursday at 5:45 PM.  I have no idea how he did that.  It just [...]

Amazing!!!

This is so incredible.  It may be in a different language, but that doesn’t matter.  His skill really shines through.  I couldn’t imagine having all of this going on at the same time!!! 

Emma!!

This afternoon I was in Emma’s room sorting out her clothes to make room for some new ones given to us by a friend (Thanks Judy and Mark!!).  Emma was playing in her crib with her cow and rattle, and talking to me, as per usual.  I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and [...]

Great News!

Well, it’s official.  I absolutely DO NOT have  MS!!!  Wow, it feels good to finally be able to say that out-loud.  I want to shout it from the rooftops!!  My doctor is an amazing woman.  I really could go on and on about her, but I won’t.  Let’s just say that today I feel a [...]

One of Those Days!

I feel kind of weird writing this post considering not that long ago I wrote about my sighs of relief.  But today I’m doing none of that.  I’m having a day where I feel like I switched bodies with a 98 year old woman and subsequently got hit by a truck!  I haven’t felt like this in [...]

Mother Intuition

After 4 kids, I am really glad that I have learned to trust my intuition.  Justus has been quite wheezy in the last few days, so this morning I decided to call the doctor.  She got him in this morning, and was very glad we brought him in.  A few more days and it would’ve [...]

D-Day, Feb 22.

Today was THE day, the day we went for a visit at Abby’s potential new school.  I figured it would be a walk in the park, and I would be able to make the decision fairly quickly afterwards.  No such luck, I was very sorely mistaken.  The problem we are having, there are such vast [...]

Interesting Conversations

Steve and I recently started reading “The Culturally Savvy Christian” by Dick Staub.  It’s a very interesting read, although we’re only a few chapters in.  We read one per week and then discuss on our weekly “date” (gives us something other than kids to connect on….kind of fun except when I read the wrong chapter!).   So [...]

Sighs of Relief

Yesterday we had 3 great things happen, and I’m breathing big sighs of relief today.
Since Abby started swimming lessons, she’s really been having difficulty afterwards with throwing up.  I think from taking in too much water.  Pool water is a great beverage, at least according to Abby it is.  But last night was the first [...]

New Adventures

This year Steve and I have decided to write a book together.  We have found that there are very few Christian books geared towards families with special needs.  So, we thought we’d write something.  Both Steve and I enjoy writing, and it seemed like a really great avenue to pursue.  Today I began my process.  [...]
