What I Want

For my 36th Birthday, I would like a present wrapped in blue.  Inside the blue wrapped gift, I would like a white box with something green inside; something green like my eyes. - by Londyn Paige

Dymanic Orthotic Cranioplasty (DOC Band)

UPDATE:  Here is the little DIVA in her cranial helmet.  Rain is scheduled to wear the helmet for 12 weeks.  We travel to Austin, TX every two weeks for adjustments.  She doesn't seem to mind the helmet.  It's as if it's apart of her, which is a good thing!

Presley Rain will be fitted with a DOC Band in less than two weeks. Londyn had to wear the same cranial helmet when she was an infant too!

Moving On Up

We decided to move on up and purchase our 1st mini van, the Honda Odyssey. Having three children demanded we become more child-centered as we began our search for the perfect new car. After researching and test driving an array of vehicles (for six months), keeping in mind everything we wanted and (needed) in a new vehicle, The Honda Odyssey was the BEST CHOICE by far. Compared to any other vehicle, including the new cross over SUVs, we simply could not get all that we did purchasing any other vehicle. We really have it all. See for yourself. I'm guilty of always getting the best bang for our buck! Alexis is the most excited about the new purchase, I think!

I Am NOT Worthy!

"The Reason, My Purpose"

My three year old, Londyn Paige is quite the challenge.  I've been reading, To Train Up A Child, by Michael & Debi Pearl.  This is what I took away from this book.

Child rearing is an invasive procedure.  You invade the soul of a developing human being, an external living soul.  It is not an inconsequential procedure.  The whole heavens stand in the waiting room in anticipation of the outcome. 

Six Months Of Rain

Presley is such a joy.
I can't say that I can complain since she is that good of a baby.
