Valentines

Soooooooooooo I know it's not Feb yet but I'm so excited to spend my first Valentines with my boo! And we get the added benefit of having his birthday the NEXT day! I hope you enjoy the blog design until than!!

4 Runner

After getting stuck once again, we decided it was time. We sucked it up and sold my car (sad to lose the amazing gas mileage) and we bought a Toyota 4 Runner. It's a 2000, but has half the miles that my car did and will last twice as long so we'll have it forever (hopefully!). I absolutely love it and didn't get stuck going to work today!! (getting into and out of the parking lot is really tricky cuz there is a big dip that ices over). We hope you are doing well. We love a miss you all!

Jsoh with the cake. Jazzy just tried to pull it off.

I stand corrected.....

Still only FOUR with Down's syndrome. I guess Christian isn't. I just assumed because we tease her that she collects them, and he had oxygen, BUT he was just 11 weeks early and born with some drug exposure and his lungs can't handle it alone. So still only 4. I also wanted to clarify my aunt and uncle do have other children as well. The have two other biological sons(26 & 23) and a biological daughter (almost 18), plus they've adopted two other girls ages 11 and 5. Christian makes number TEN in they're ever growing family!

My Aunts FIVE Kids with Down's Syndrome

My mom's twin sister Cheryl and her husband Thom were blessed with a son with Down's syndrome in 1986. Darren is the sweetest little boy ever. Since I was about 12 I've thought that I should be a special ed teacher. I still feel that way, but it's a slow process. BUT since that blessed most amazing child my aunt has started fostering and has adopted one, Samantha, and is the process of adopting Mia & Emma and will bring Christian home from the hospital on Monday. She's super amazing!

Christian, born November 2nd, 2007 and is now 5 lbs 11 ozs. He was born at 2lbs 3 ozs, 12 1/2 inches. He will come home on oxygen, but unlike the other two young ones doesn't have a "g" tube to eat from. He can already suck and eat from a bottle.

The four already in her home. Sam, Mia, Darren and Emma
Emma aka Emma Lemma. She was 1 in October (1 in this picture).
Mia, aka terrior, :) 2 1/2
Samantha, Super silly, 10. Fun story. Darren baptized Sam.

Darren Carl Clark! What a hunk!

2008

So I realized today after harrassing a friend why she hadn't posted since the 27th that my last post was the 26th. So Sorry Marci!

I've done a lot of pondering in the last little while. I see to think I need to change a lot of things in my life, but don't care enough or have the energy to do it so I'm just going to start small.

1. More Healthy Eating. Which means healthy buying and less eating out.

2. More caring for myself. I HATE putting on makeup but it seems to make a difference.

3. More proactive spiritually. I neeed to do things before things get hard or bad or frustrating.

4. More patience. Enough said.

5. More caring for others. I'm done waiting for people to be my friend or caring about me. I'm going to show them that I truly do care about them!

I'm doing this scrapbook challege about a goal for 2008 so I'll post that in a few days!
