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...Keep Reading Here »
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....Keep Reading Here »
The other day I posted 1 good photo that I managed to get out of several hundred that I took for Owain’s 3rd birthday. Check out a few of my favorite outtakes. Keep Reading Here »

I wanted to get a good picture of the presents that I wrapped from different recycled materials, but I completely forgot. Santa brings presents in Santa paper, and there were presents under the tree from my parents, my brother and from Will’s dad and Katy. This year, I used a lot of recycled packing...Keep Reading Here »
Moments before he dumped all of the crayons out of the box, Wee Nut was actually putting them all away. I guess he needed to experience both the filling of the box and then the emptying of it. I can already see the artwork on the walls he will create in the future… ...Keep Reading Here »
Wee Nut is the only little Nut that we have with dark hair and dark eyes. Wing Nut’s hair is getting darker with age, but our little Owee was born with a full head of dark hair. He also had the most hair at birth. I was so upset when I saw him with...Keep Reading Here »

Have you ever had one of those moments where you look at what your kids at doing and think “AAAHhhhhhhh”!? Followed by “AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhh”! And then you realize that everything in fact is fine. Wing Nut created this massive toy sculpture a few years ago, and when I first saw that he was sitting on...Keep Reading Here »
The three oldest Nuts love to do face paintings, I suppose I should actually know who is who, but at this point all I know is there is one Ninja Turtle with two characters from Avatar, I think one Air Bender and one Water Bender, but I could be way off with this.Keep Reading Here »
Honey Nut is the Latest and Last Addition to the Family. She is our 5th Little Nut and our 1st and only Little Girl. She spends her days pretty much running after her brothers and pretending she can talk. She has no trouble being heard around here and loves her big brothers as much as they love her. Right now it is pretty much her job to just hang out and be cute.
Owain is my 3 year old, my Little Heart Kid & my Hero. He is Double Inlet, Single Ventricle with Pulmonary Atresia and Malpositioned Great Arteries. He has had 3 out of 3 Open Heart surgeries needed to “fix” his heart. The Heart is an amazing thing and I never know what to expect. He also has asthma and we are doing our best to manage that. He finally had his last surgery on June 24th 2011.
Wee Nut and Honey Nut have become a pair of serious partners in crime. The two of them together can cause more trouble than the older three. They keep me on my toes!
Owain is our Miracle Baby. You can read his Congenital Heart Defect Story from the very beginning if you click on his picture.
E Nut is 8 and wicked crazy! He is my fearless child and spent much of his life thinking if he could just jump high enough he could fly. If I let him, he would play Wii all day long, that is IF I let him. He has no trouble waking up before 6am and made me a morning person when I never thought I would be. He recently lost his first tooth and FINALLY feels like a Big Kid. E Nut and Wing Nut are the Big Kids around here and while they fight like enemies, they love like brothers.
After his Fontan on June 24th he went home after 6 days! Now we are back in the hospital waiting for fluid to stop draining from around his right lung.
Little Nut Nut is my 5 year old boy genius and totally freaks me out with the things he can do. What type of child learns to read at 3 years old?!? He is his Big Brothers shadow and wants to do what ever they do. He doesn't have any trouble letting everyone around here know what he thinks, has no inner voice and talks non-stop all day long. If he thinks it, he says it. He says things like "I love life" and "I am made of Awesome" and always makes me smile, even when I don't want to.
My Wing Nut, 10 years old, is my first born and is a Lego Fanatic. He talks in his sleep about "interesting number combinations" and insists that he is going to work for Lego when he grows up. From the moment he gets the current issue of Lego magazine in the mail, he anticipates the arrival of the next one. He has crazy mood swings, has recently been diagnosed with ADHD but I am not so sure that is correct. He is considered Failure to Thrive and I struggle everyday to get him to gain weight, he keeps getting taller, but not gaining any weight. I think if we can figure out why he his Failure to Thrive, his ADHD will go away.
