Seasons

Okay, so this is my idea of wonderful weather:

Autumn 2013

And this is what the children like:

Winter 2013

What is it about snow that makes children think "fun"? Yuck! :)

Blessings

William has sweet friends who came over today and built him monkey bars that are just his size so he could help build his lung capacity.  He is so excited!  Thank you so much, Benjamin and Christopher, for the love you show to our sweet boy (and the rest of our family)!

Vest Airway Clearance System

Ever wonder how William spends his time?  That's 1,000.2 hours and this is his 3rd machine in 3 years!  Am I ever thankful for this handy machine!

Poem

I found this sweet little poem that totally represents how I feel about all my children.  Maybe the boys more so, just because they don't seem to sit for long!  The girls are always willing to come hug and snuggle, but the boys, well, it seems that it has to be their idea! :)

"Hold him a little longer,
Rock him a little more.
Tell him another story
(You've only told him four).
Let him sleep on your shoulder,
Rejoice in his happy smile.
He is only two and a half
For such a little while."

More Illness Update

Thank you all for praying for William.  His doctor believes that a mucous plug broke loose and is blocking the air sac, as his alveoli are flat and unable to more things through, causing a secondary infection.  He gave William another RX to try to break it up and added more Vest treatments to move it out.  We will watch him closely for changes, which could require hospitalization again if it doesn't improve sufficiently over the next few days.
Again, thank you for lifting him up.  God is always so merciful to us and we are ever grateful for His great kindnesses to our family!
