Back to Reality.....

Where did the summer go? I'm sitting here putting off ironing and going through Emily's closet to see what will fit and not fit for the school year. She seems to think she isn't supposed to out grow anything and that she can wear it forever. Crazy girl! Tyler's is done- WoW! he has grown. So many shirts that are so short on him. LOL And as always he had/has way too many. Don't think that will be a problem anymore since he has gotten to the age where he thinks his clothes should either be from A.E. or Aeropostale! Ughhh! This drives me crazy- especially since I am not a "brand name" kind of girl. Not that I am against brand names or anything but in my opinion many people feel that they have to have a certain brand to feel good about themselves and snub their noses at a shirt from Wal-Mart. Ok-you get my point. I'm dreading the early rushed mornings getting to school on time and most of all .... homework!! Will miss the lazy days of summer... staying up late, sleeping in, going to the pool. Back to routine! Emily is actually looking forward to going back to school and said that summer was too long. Well, I guess I should end this and get busy before Bryson wakes up from his nap. I don't seem to get much done these days when he is awake! He takes up all my time. I will say that Tyler has been a pretty big help about taking him and playing with him in his room if I need to get something done though. I will miss having him around during the day to help out!!

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
