Happy Thursday Y’all! Here we go again, bringing back the goodness that y’all have come to know and love…and I am hoping, miss. I looked back through my blog, and can’t believe that I never even posted a simple Thankful Thursday post after Owain’s surgery. How did that happen? How did I just loose...Keep Reading Here »

Happy Thursday Y’all! This week is catching up with me. And I am kind of miserable. Doing my best to not be. I gotta be Thankful that the kids are done being sick. Owain’s fever scared me for a bit and made me nervous. I am Thankful it is over and we can catch...Keep Reading Here »

Happy Thursday Y’all! After last week’s storm, this beautiful week was just what we needed. Warm weather, open windows, a dry basement and hot water. We are so thankful for all of those things! Tonight we managed to get the kids out the door after dinner for an evening walk, something that we haven’t...Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! Whew, I am most definitely thankful that today is over! I am not sure what has gotten into my kids the past couple of days, but they have been as difficult as they can be. Between all the sibling bickering and the tired crankiness because of getting up too early, I...Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! What a fabulous week we have been having! Wing Nut is still gaining weight. He also has a much better attitude, is less impulsive and more agreeable. E Nut has a new obsession with keeping my tea cup full of tea. So while the kids are still waking us up in...Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! My kids were in rare form today. It was the type of day that I could not have predicted if I were a psychic. My morning started while Wee Nut played quietly in his room, the big kids were in the class room making paper bag puppets and Little Nut Nut...Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! I know the day is almost over, but I can’t let the day go without slowing down for long enough to brush all of stress and nonsense of the week away and share some Thankful Thoughts. Wing Nut had an appointment with his GI specialist today. Which was long over due....Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! I almost let the entire day come and go before I realized that today was Thursdays and I still didn’t post Thankful Thursday. It has been a hard week for me. Sometimes I let things get to me when they shouldn’t. Sometimes I need to step back and accept that I...Keep Reading Here »
It is a very happy and blessed Thursday Y’all! I am so very Thankful for the overwhelming support and prayers sent to Owain this past week! I can’t even begin to tell you all how much it means to us! We went to UVa this afternoon for a follow up with peds cardiology. It...Keep Reading Here »
Happy Thursday Y’all! I know it is late in the day, and you probably thought I forgot about Thankful Thursday after posting my Thinks My Kids Destroy vlog this morning.

Happy Thursday Y’all! It is a BEAUTIFUL day at The Nut House. Really, I mean, gorgeous, better than I thought it would be . There are several Cardinals outside the classroom window right now and they have been hopping around in the Dogwoods all day. Windows are open, the heat is turned off and...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.
