I often have people come up and tell me how special I am. I am even told that there is a very special place in Heaven saved just for me and people just like me. Why? Why am I so special? Because of Bailynn? Because I have 5 children? Because I keep myself calm and composed… Read More
Over a month has passed since my last update – the time slips away. Here is what has happened. Bailynn’s back has still not recovered fully to what it looked like before the trauma, whatever that was, though I can not dismiss its vast improvement from June.

She is pretty well stuck in her bed watching movies and rattling toys until we can resolve this issue. We gave her a very gentle shower last night and took… Read More

Disney will send your child a autographed photo if they write their favorite character! I had to write Bailynn’s today – since she obviously can’t. The other girls are working on theirs. I wanted to share Bailynn’s. She loves the Finding Nemo Movie so much! I will share what we receive back when we get… Read More
