Promised Land





 Last Sunday we were able to go to the Promised Land lol in Wisconsin.  We have a homeschool sports group in our area that we have thought about joining in the future and they were hosting, so we went.  Hunter won first place in archery and has never even done archery before in his life.  The kids enjoyed lots of swimming and boating in the spring fed lake.  It was a beautifully day.  I definitely was on high alert with all the kids around water so I was not able to relax really, but they had a lot of fun and we all made it home safely thankfully!  


We also unpacked our very last box last Saturday and organized the garage so that was awesome!!!!!   


If I didn’t mention already, I started back to grad school, so things are a little busier, but the kids have I think a two week break from school after tomorrow.  Other than that, we have been busy with dental appointments and yard work and low grade fevers!

  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
