There are only two ways to live your life.One is as though nothing is a miracle...... The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein~
I tell people all of the time that Sam is the kind of kid that will fall asleep just about anywhere at anytime. He plays hard all day long....can't sit still for any length of time....so when he's tired, he's done. He sleeps just as hard as he plays and here is the proof. I have no idea how long he was asleep.......... He just simply got tired and that was it...he went to sleep....his day was done!!!!
It was Taylor's birthday last weekend and he turned 22 years old. It hardly seems possible that that many years have passed already. My sister and her family joined us as well as my mom. Taylor has not been feeling well ever since he had H1N1 so he watched us eat and blew out his candles all for our sake. What a trooper!! Taylor suffers from Crohn's disease and we think when he was sick that it has triggered some other things to go wrong. He has been in and out of the emergency for the past week.....it has been a long week. He is actually at the hospital right now with his dad waiting for test results. We think it may be his gall bladder. I am hoping to hear something soon. If you think of it please say a little prayer for Taylor...he has lost about 15 pounds since this whole thing has started and he is in a lot of pain. I am trusting that God will take care of him...we just need to know what is actually wrong.
Our family consists of 6 kids and 2 adults.....Rod my husband works in the media and has his own business. Me.....well I have many titiles.....just to name a few, taxi driver, chef, finance manager, referee, business partner, computer analyist, school teacher and the list goes on, but the one I cherish most is mom. Taylor, our oldest son is in school heading towards being an engineer. Jesse, who just graduated from highschool in 2008 is heading towards Europe and the wide open fields. He has the travel bug and is leaving us for a bigger adventure. Kyle, who is our gentle soul is a budding photographer and is still in high school. Sam who is our miracle baby(there is a link to his blog) is a hockey player and is just having a great time being a kid. And then of course our girls......Our journey to adopt Denaye and Maya started in March 2006. Lots of paperwork and a lot of waiting. We have been blessed with the 2 of them who joined our family on September 6, 2007. There is a link that will give you our timeline if you are interested. If you have been with us since the beginning thanks so much for your support and your prayers...believe me I cherished it all. If you are just tuning in I hope you enjoy the ride.....it gets more interesting everyday!!! Blessings Debbie
