Morning

 





This morning, like 6:15 in the morning, Sean and I headed off on date with baby Natalie.  We went to Illinois Beach  State Park to see the sunrise.  We sat in the car and drank coffee as we watched the water, the birds, the clouds, and the sun.  It was very peaceful and so beautiful.  After that we went to the Wildberry Cafe for breakfast.  So indoor dining is closed, but they do have a covered tent set up outside with gas lamps.  It’s pretty crazy how we walked through the empty restaurant to go inside a covered tent to eat because no one is allowed to eat indoors yet we go inside to go outside to go inside to eat.  Does anyone else find this a bit crazy??!!  In the tent, tables are not socially distanced and there isn’t the proper HVAC ventilation like in the restaurant.  Oh well.  Any way.  We ate with our coats on and had a good time.  On the way home we stopped off in Wadsworth to go on the trail for a walk.  I really enjoyed my time with my hubby and the baby this morning.

  Our 7th child, born on 9/11, Lucas John……..HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY LIL MAN!!!!!     Oh what to say - I don’t want to get too wordy!!!    His first year of life was spent in three NICUs - East TN, Vandy, and Boston.    His first year of life he underwent two heart surgeries.    He lived at home with us on oxygen and a feeding tube.    He didn’t start eating solid food until he was 3.5 years old.    He just started walking this summer.    He doesn’t talk much.    He’s not where he should be developmentally.    He has many scars from all of his hospitalizations.    Where his chest was cracked open for his heart surgeries, it still bulges out.    He has Down Syndrome.    And until this last summer I could just stop there and say “The End”.    My heart was full of bitterness, brokenness, and anger.    I didn’t understand why God chose me to be his mom and ashamedly I really didn’t want to be.    But praise the Lord that is not the end.    This summer, unbeknownst to him, one of our foster kids
