Blog Bird Background - a Reminder that God knows and still cares- even about my hair falling out.

Matthew 10:29-31 "What's the price of a pet canary? Some loose change, right? And God cares what happens to it even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail - even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries.

Three kids...it's an adjustment!


Olivia has been home now for 4 weeks and is doing really well! She is 7 weeks old now and weighs about 7lbs. She's eating like a champ and growing like a weed. We are so happy to all be at home together getting to know each other and learning to be a family of 5. My doctors are still having trouble stabilizing my platelet count so I am finishing up the 4th (of 4) i.v. treatment of Rituxin tomorrow. Hopefully, this medicine will do the trick and we can REALLY get to being a "normal" family again.

Hunter is now 2 and has really gotten BOSSY! We are constantly reminding him to talk nicely to Mommy and Daddy and Will, and to use his kind words. He's stinking cute though, so we have to make sure to turn around before we laugh at him so he doesn't think his behavior is appropriate!

Will and I are going to start doing "school work" since we weren't able to get him started in Preschool this fall due to all the baby/health stuff that was going on. We're going to try to get him in to the pre-k. class at our church this January.

Both boys really love their sister "Baby Olivia" as Will calls her and "Eeyah" as Hunter calls her. This girl does not lack for attention!

Betsy, You are going to Homeschool Will? I'm going to have to advise you to rethink that plan.

Oh, HECK no! Just going to work on letters until January when we plan on getting him in preschool so he isn't too far behind.

ADORABLE!!! 7 pounds? Our baby probably weighs that right now. Ha! Ha! I have ginormous babies. We are crossing our fingers for an 8 pounder this time. One can only hope!
