Greetings From Our Group Home

Well, it has been about 2 weeks and we haven't killed each other. My stepdad is dedicated to his job where he sleeps in the day and guards the prison at night. My mom sleeps in for a while, catching up on 30 years of sleep deprivation. My husband snores on ( FROM THE BOOK 'BEAR SNORES ON')without a flinch. My son sleeps peacefully because he has conquered his sides of our bed. I, however, get ready to feed the world as I hand out benefits to the needy for a mere sixpence.

We all have our quirks. My mother and husband spend more time together than we can wish ( she is his taxi for the time being) My stepdad is in heaven because my mom finally has a reason to cook. My son thinks he is in Disneyland because he is living the best of both worlds. And there is my brother, the rockstar, the baby of the family, the one who leaves a trail of crumbs from his 2am snack.

Right now, I couldn't trade it for a moment. We dont know what our future holds as far as the path we'll take but we know that God is in control. He hears our praise and prayers. And thanks to my mother in law and our friends for their support.

Well, we are finally moved in to our mansion. I am beside my self because I'm so used to my routine of cooking dinner and cleaning up right after work. Now my mom usually has dinner cooking and the house is kept clean. Our hearts are so grateful for the grace and mercy our parents have had on us since we've been together. We feel at times unworthy to be parents our self because we haven't been financially stable for Nathan's sake. This year will be a true test of our faith in our finances as well as our marriage. I know God has a plan for me and for my family. I just need to rehearse trhat everyday.


Thanks for your prayers. And as for Nathan, he is suppose to have a Ct-Scan sometime in the next few weeks. He seems vibrant and happy. He loves to sing, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" which is the first song I sang to him in the hospital.

Home Sweet Home

Okay, so my last blog was a little troubling to understand because I wasn't very specific so I will share. My parents offered Jon and I to live with them for awhile so that Jon can go back to school. At first we had doubts because we didn't want to leave our cute little place and leave our privacy as well as dive into my parent's and brother's privacy. Then we looked at our finances, we looked at the fact that we've been praying for a good job for Jonny and we looked at our son. Knowing everyone would have to make some sacrifices and that its totally embarrassing...we really couldn't see beyond all of that. We want to give Nathan the best life we can and Jon deserves to continue on with his education and have an opportunity at a career. So at the end of July we are moving in. We are so grateful for this opportunity and not many people get it twice! (We used to live with them before our little tooter came along) So please pray for us, its emotionally and mentally rough right now. We'll still be on one paycheck but this will help us not having to pay as much rent.

And speaking of the little tooter....Nathan is talking like crazy. The other day on our way home he was throwing a fit because he was sooo tired. My mom was doing her best to entertain him but he just wouldn't have it. So I said, "He's just really tired." and Nathan snapped back, "I NOT TIYED MAMA !" (spelt deliberately) And we really had to make firecrackers a big deal so he wouldnt be as scared. He kept saying, "Ooo, crackers, ooo"

Love Everyone....
