I am Not as Strong as I appear. I enjoy weakness from time to time. We are a homeschooling, special needs family of 7. My 4th son has a Congenital Heart defect, and my oldest has ADHD. We like to find old things and make them new, so we bought a house that was in desperate need of repair, then we doubled the sized of it. This project is well over 9 years long, with still plenty to do, and has pushed my fear of heights over the limit too many times. The best part is I am still alive to talk about it! Some of my passions are my children, and making Jewelry. When life gets stressful (often times stress induced by children!) opening up my bins of beads to create something beautiful that will soon bring joy to someone else is all I need. That and chocolate. I am just hanging on by the seat of my pants. Stick around & let's get to know each other.
The kids have a great dentist! They are always so sweet to the boys, and now that Honey Nut is old enough to sit in the dentist chair, they made her feel right at home. The kids’ dentist treats the youngest ones like Rock Stars! Of course she did great, she loves brushing her...

I wish I could remember where I got the worksheets for the scissor practice! I would like to see if there are more patterns to cut. I might just have to take a few minutes and make more myself. Honey Nut and Wee Nut have made dozens of little scraps this afternoon...

Looking back at this past summer, I remember the both the fear of Owain’s upcoming surgery and the excitement of our pre-surgery vacation to Hershey Park. I could do without the fear, but I sure could use a vacation from life right now.

I just realized that today is Friday. That means that we are only 1 week a way from Owain’s surgery. Today though, we had a great time at the park, such a great time that I didn’t even think about what day it was once. I took hundreds of photos, way too many to...

We haven’t even made it to the park yet and we are having a great time already! We are enjoying time together, time in the pool and time forgetting about everything that has been weighing so heavily on us. When we checked into our room yesterday there was a little package waiting for us....

There was so much to do today. Dishes, laundry, the floors, the bathrooms, pretty much the whole house needed to get cleaned before we go on vacation on Thursday. I started my day with coffee and every intention of avoiding all things involving cleaning. Instead I spent the day with the 2 younger kids...

A few months ago, E Nut pulled some already sprouted apple seeds from his apple and insisted that we plant them. It was something that I talked my way out of for years, but there was no way I could say no to him when they were already starting to sprout.

After Wee Nut and Honey Nut took a bath, they were following me around the house while we got ready for bed. I turned around to see Owee hanging over my bed pulling Honey Nut up. Those 2 know how to work together to get things done. Before I knew it, they were tucking...

I can’t believe Owain hasn’t had a Dr kit until now! Grammy Nut found one the other day and just had to get it for him. He has been playing with it and giving everyone a check-up. We might have to start taking some of his Dr tools to appointments with us!

In Owain's 4 short years, he has had 3 Open Heart Surgeries, and 1 surgery to place Pacemaker wires on both his upper and lower heart. He is looking at a lifetime of surgeries to replace the Pacemaker batteries. Hopefully that is all he will need, but we live our lives Praying for the Best while being Prepared for the Worst.
