Well Ryan told me last night I should get some kind of award for not having a break down until now! I guess I should celebrate for lasting 2 months with 5 kids, 7 and under, no sleep, and constant spiritual refining! Today the sun is shining and life is better.

Where did 2 months go?

We have had a very busy and trying two months.
The main trial in our life has been the passing of my little nephew Kaden. He lived 9 days and touched many, many lives. This experience has made me stronger in my faith and more grateful for my crazy kids and all that I go through with them. I love my family and extended family so much more. (and I didn't think I could love them more than I already did!)
Alex has had his own little trial. He spent a week in the hospital with RSV. I stayed with him and so many wonderful people helped take care of my other kids. Thanks again to those who helped in any way. It was so good to feel loved and taken care of during that difficult time and also now with this harder trial.
Here are some photos of my little X-man.

Pray for baby Kaden

My sister Sarah had a baby boy on Monday. The birth went well, but baby Kaden is struggleing. Today 3/3/11 they are considering doing open heart surgery. Please keep their family in your prayers.
