Mom & Son Night! (Day 326 of 365)

Saturday, October 16th 2010

Today started at 8am…when I jumped out of my bed to realize that I overslept. I ran out of bed to meet The Physical Therapist at the door. She came over to work with the girls. She works with them by stretching their legs and having them do various exercises to strengthem their muscles. Erin was up first, and did awesome!

Fighting For a Life (179 of 365)

Tuesday, May 18th 2010

John Michael Stuart (Day 157 of 365)

Sunday, April 25th 2010

Yesterday the kiddos went to the monthly event at Starlight Foundation. I was unable to go with them, because I had already planned on going to a Clothing Exchange Party at my friend Melody’s house. I love going to the Starlight Foundation events because every time I do, I meet another person that I believe is amazing. Did you know that there are many amazing people in this world that have amazing stories? If I had a wish, I wish I could travel around the country this summer while the kids are visiting their Dad and interview each person and tell there story. Hmmm….maybe I will just do that!
