Well, I don't blog much anymore or at least I haven't in awhile. Ty is doing so wonderful and healthy, but that alone should be the reason I blog more frequently. He keeps me very busy. If I had a dime for every time someone passed us in public and said "wow you have a busy son" I would be rich... HEE HEE!! His activity level is such a blessing though. It just proves what a true miracle he is. He turns 3 on the 9th and I just can't believe it. What a year we have had.. he definitely is the bravest 3 year old I know. 2 days after his birthday we head to Texas Children's for our first follow up MRI since brain surgery number 2. I am very anxious. Although I hate seeing him get sedated and hate that he has to be scared, I have complete faith that the doctors report will be positive and that I can start to slowly put this behind me. I want his 3rd year of life to be the best year ever. He deserves it so very much. People say he won't remember and I pray that he won't. I wish that I couldn't but then again what a blessing it is to experience one of God's miracles first hand. That's how I have to look at this now. We are studying Revelation right now in our Wednesday night bible study, and last week we spoke of letting go; letting go of that thing that has a hold of us. It truly touched my heart and I left that night deciding that I needed to move forward and begin to put this behind me. I realized that it keeps me from enjoying the true blessings in life because I spend every minute worrying about him when I should spend every minute rejoicing and thanking God that he healed my precious child.
"For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength"

Peaceful Family
Hello all,
As you can tell, my blogs are getting few and far between. Mainly because life is doing just what I had hoped, settling down.... Ty is turning in to a little boy more and more every day. I can't believe in less than a month, he will be 3. Every morning he makes me leave him alone as he picks out his clothes and dresses himself. I usually have to negoiate to get him to change shorts or shirts to match.. hee hee. We started off the week sad though. Our dog that we have had for 6 years (Casey's and my first child, hee hee) Truman was killed by a car; he was a miniatrue schnauzer. Ty wanted to go outside and play, so we came out the back and Truman ran out of the gate. Since he minds well and stays in the yard, I left him out. Ty and I were sitting in the driveway and Casey was working in the yard when Truman ran across the street to check something out. Casey looked up and called him back home before he saw the car coming. Being the obedient dog that he was, he came immediately and ran right in front of the car. As I scream in the yard with tears pouring out of my eyes, I look back to see Ty and he had big tears coming out of his eyes. He knew exactly what had happened. It broke my heart. He asked all night where Truman was and my other poor dog moped around the house. It was very difficult to explain to a 3 yr old what had happened, so we did what any irrational parent would do and bought him a new puppy, GG, a 9 week old chocolate lab and my sweet boys new best friend. He adores her and he is helping with her around the house; scolding her when she does wrong and letting her out. It is very cute. Our dog Dexter is still not sure what to think, but he will come around. On a totally different subject, we have started to give Ty milk again and he has done fabulous! I never thought I would be so excited to be able to give my child milk, but the thought of expanding his meals and our meals, is so wonderful!! Last night when we got home, Ty and I let GG out and he wanted to follow her. As soon as we got outside, he started playing, so I decided to let him play for a while. There was a cool brisk in the air finally. As I sat there and watched him run around chasing GG and Dexter, dig in the dirt, and try to climb the fence, I had an overwhelming since of peace come over me. We spent last year overcoming so many challenges, with him alone, and for once, I finally felt like everything was going to be okay. This is our year and it's going to be fabulous. God is great and I thank him everyday for the opportunity to serve as a wife to Casey and a mother to Ty. This is it! This is our year, praise God.

Heavy heart
Well, it has been a while since I have blogged. Last week was a not so nice week. My Ty got his first cold of the season, including a swollen gland that had me freaking out of course. He seems better, although that gland that Casey and the Dr say is not swollen still concerns me.. how silly am I? Worrying again!! God, please forgive me for that. Mom and I took him shopping yesterday and I am not sure why I forget that you should never take an almost 3 yr old WILD little boy shopping, but I do, EVERY TIME! Hee hee..
I titled my blog heavy heart because I do have a heavy heart, but not about my life right now, but about all of my surrounding friends that are surrounded by wild fires. They are everywhere and so devastating and so close to home. Please heavenly father, give us rain, lots and lots of rain. Please keep your hands on these fire fighters and all of the family's involved. In your precious name, I pray.
Now, last, but not least, my 5 things that made me smile
1. Shopping with my mom, cousin and Ty yesterday and all the laughter we received from Ty telling me "I'm MAD" at least 10 times
2. Eating dinner with my entire family last night
3. Getting to visit with cousins, their children and my aunt this weekend.
4. Ty telling me in the convenient store, "I am going to get skittles, that will be great won't it? " LOL!!
5. Ty spilling a cup of water and telling me "There is too much stuff on this table MOMMY" Already knowing how to place the blame on others!
