March date

 



Sean and I and the baby headed to Chicago after test driving a Transit that we decided against buying.  We thought it not a good idea to get back into debt after only being out of debt for approximately 7 days.  We went down to the Magnificent Mile and walked around.  Guess what!?  There were people down there!   We haven’t seen people in Chicago in a long time.  We ate lunch at Geno’s East.  One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long time.  It was buffalo chicken wing with bleu cheese crumbles and a carrot and celery relish instead of tomato sauce.  It was delicious.  And we had leftovers so I got to enjoy it again and again.  :). It was a nice day for a date, the baby was so good, and maybe best of all we didn’t buy a thing!  Other than lunch.  That usually does not happen!

  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
