Rosie Cheeks…

Lucy is sporting that post transfusion glow tonight, she looks warm and radiant.  Our day was long, eight hours long, but uneventful as far as transfusions go, thank God.  Day med was busy, the lab work got a little confusing, the pharmacy made an error on one of our bi-weekly scripts, all of my electronics ran out of power or were unable to connect to the hospital internet for one reason...

Time flies…

Whether or not we’re having fun, time flies these days.  Our days have been a mix of fun and exciting, and chaotic and worrisome…what else would you expect!?! Lucy is in need of a blood, thankfully she is scheduled for transfusion tomorrow. She is beyond white in appearance, she looks, for lack of a better description, translucent.   There are times when I look at her and it takes...

What Kind of A Mother Are You (In the Spirit of Mother’s Day)…

Not sure if you have seen the most recent cover of TIME magazine?   Media has gone and done it again, they are trying to define who we are.  I will admit that I have not read the entire article, mainly because I don’t have time/TIME…ha. But it did spark my interest, because according to TIME magazine I guess I fall under the category of being an attachment parent and I didn’t even know...

What do I love most about my mom…Have you met my mom, what’s not to love?  She is one complex woman, yet so practical! My mom believes in us, in me, in our abilities to do anything we put our minds to!  Never doubting, that we can and will do it. There are so many more things about my mom that I love, but this, this is what I love most about her, she believes in us! Motherhood is...

If my kids had superhero powers…

Jack would be able to read you like a book. Megan would coat you in sweetness and win your heart in an instant. Sophie would be able to talk you in circles in no time, ultimately convincing you to give in to whatever it was she wanted. And Lucy would be able to demand anything she wanted and have you get it for her in a blink of an eye. What about your kids?...

Issues…

(This picture has nothing to do with this post, it is just a random adorable picture of our girl with her daddy.  Yes, those are feathers in her hair :) Drew and I flew threw Costco last night, from the time in to the time out of the store, 20minutes!  Impressive, we know.  We arrived at 6:17pm and had to pick up 3/4’s of our kiddos twenty minutes away at 7:00 and 7:15pm respectfully. ...

These days…

The weather in our neck of the woods has been a bit unusual, one day we are running our air conditioner the next day the heat is on.  Our days are kind of like the weather, unpredictable.  We are so grateful for continual antibiotics, antifungals, and ethanol lock therapy, we believe that the combination of all three of these have allowed us to spend more days at home as a family of six,...
