Belated Halloween

Seems my posting is as out of order as my life is ; ) that's ok though because life with three kids 4 and under, one of whom is special needs, will always be chaotic.

So without further ado...

HALLOWEEN 2010

Firemen Of The Year: Austin and Mason


 (In their school parade. They were so proud)


************************

Picking out "just one" is serious business!  Oh' Mason how you melt my heart.



Cause what are big brothers for anyway...



And Mommys who clearly waited tables in college, bringing out beverages for everyone.


Miracle baby did not dress up this year because it is far to hot here and he sweats up a storm as it is.  No more taxing on his heart is needed, thank you very much.  We will try again next year.



( Austin is absolutely terrifeid of that skeleton and he didn't think it was very funny that we thought it was funny...)

Big changes from last year on this holiday:



And most importantly, this is what I left for the first time ever (4 weeks) to make it home for Halloween last year. It was the first time I came home since he was born:


And this is what we have one year later! Praise God!


As always, I cannot wait to see what a year brings us next Halloween...

Check back in soon because I have Paxtons first birthday party to do.  That one will take me awhile. I have some amazing pictures done by Rayna Overmyer, a local photographer here who donated her time to take pictures of our miracle boy. Cannot wait to share!

Love~

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha...

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t...
