Today is Tanner’s 9th birthday. I just looked down at the clock; it’s 7 a.m. 9 years ago, at this exact time I was checking into the hospital with big contractions. I was praying that this one would go better than the last one! And it did! My labor with Tanner was one for the text books. He was the only one I was able to have with out help of a c-section.
He weighed in at 8lbs. 1oz.
The delivery was not with out problems though. He had the cord wrapped around his neck twice, and didn’t take a breath on his own for the first 11 minutes of his life. At the time we were worried about brain damage, but as God has so many, many times, He held my child in His capable hand. An hour after they took him to the N.I.C.U. they brought him back. He was fine! There was no reason to transfer him to Children’s.
God has done so many things for my family, and I thank Him for the blessings He has given me. One of those blessings is turning 9 today, and I am even more in love with his big blue eyes, his chubby cheeks that have lost that baby look, and his quiet ways that speak with out words. He’s my Tanner boy, and sometimes I see glimpses of the man that he will some day be. Some day he may not want to cuddle, or freely accept my kisses all over those big ol’ cheeks. But ,thankfully, that is NOT today! So, today I say-
Happy birthday Tanner boy! I love you all the way to the moon and back again!
Love,
Mommy

Catch up
There are simply not enough hours in the day.
It has been so long since I’ve posted anything! Life – as usual – has been busy!
School is in full swing, and so chaos is a constant visitor in our house.
Let’s see if I can bring you up to speed…..
Alivia met her new Dr. and we liked him. He agreed with me that her bladder problems are most likely related to her scleroderma. She is doing good though. No infections for 2 months. Tanner and Riley are doing well. No colds, or asthma attacks. All 3 of them have grown so much I had to go out and buy them some pants. Luckily, I was able to score big at the thrift store….love the thrift store!!!!!!
Scott finally went to the dr. He was diagnosed with insulin resistance. It’s similar to diabetes. He started on medicine, and healthy diet, and has lost 30 pounds in just over a month. WHATEVER! Men can think about loosing weight and it happens. Makes me sick. :)
I am the same. Nothing new to report at all. Still overweight, still wish I didn’t have to work full time, still doing laundry, still doing dishes, still tired allllll the time.
October 9th was our 15 year wedding anniversary. 15 years. Where has the time gone? We took the kids, and Scott’s mom and dad came along, to Natural Bridge, KY for the weekend. It was so nice, and relaxing. We fished, the kids rode go carts, and of course we went to the bridge one day. It was a much needed quiet and relaaaaaxing weekend!
To top it off Scott surprised me with a beautiful anniversary band. It is so pretty, I love it!
We got home Sunday, and Brian called to tell us that he had just fallen off the ladder while working on some siding at his new house. He’s ok. He broke his ankle, and messed up his knee but it could have been so much worse.
Well, I guess that it. I think you’re all caught up now!
Love to all,
Char
Our beautiful cabin in the woods The beautiful lake down the lane
Riley caught a big one!!! On top of the bridge - the sun's in our eyes!
