Reece's Rainbow

Reece's Rainbow

We have some friends that are bringing home their twin Grandson's this weekend. Going through my things to see what we could give them. I told Steve I want another baby- "We have a baby". He says to me. Well I want another one. Not so sure he wants another one, we shall see. I would love to adopt a baby from Russia. They are about 40 years behind us as far as exception, and medical. Kids with down syndrome are still put in mental institutions between 4-6 years old. Reece's Rainbow is an organization to help these kids find adoptive homes.

Trying to get more breast milk for Ryan through Eats on Feets. It is a site for mom's and babies donating milk or wanting milk for their baby's.

My kids asked me this morning how much longer until RSV season is over. I told them at the end of April. Kim says " Well then we can go to Chuckie Cheese for Tristan's B-Day, and CeCe's for mine". Ashley is turning 16 next month we are planning her "Twilight Sleepover". Fun, Fun, yeah I know as long as I help everyone understand the 5 day no sick rule. All my kids are home today, we have had colds,flu going through the house. My kids did not get the memo- I didn't eighther. Oh well.

Well since August it has been a challenge to keep Ryan healthy.Not taking him out in public too much. He has been well now for 3 weeks, we hope this is an upward thing.I do have a dear friend who is donating breast milk for Ryan- I know that is why he is even chubby at all. He did have a hospital stay in October, he had RSV and pneumonia. He is getting RSV shots every month. They cost $800.00 dollars- we only pay $70.00. Losing both my grandparents in August and September, flying to MA two times was stressful. Add sick baby and I am just toast, burnt and crispy. Trying to stay afloat. Also being Mom to my other kids, and a wife. We have a new niece Brooklyn- she is too cute, can't wait to meet her this summer. Paul and his family are moving to Texas. We hope to visit this summer- it is about a 15 hour drive.

Nathan got his hearing aids back after breaking them, TERD! Steve and I got new glasses. I had to get by focals. I got separate prescription sun glasses, Steve got transitional lenses. Since I need to wear mine all the time now I got some really pretty ones, I will post pictures later.

We have 6 more months on our lease here, and we will need to rent for at least two more years to save for a down payment.Which will be tough with all the med bills we are paying. We want to have a house built, a ranch. We hope to rent a ranch this June/July. My Fibro is bad most days, however I do not complain too much- no one wants to hear that crap. We want to keep the kids in the same schools, we will see.

Still I try to stay happy and I know I am blessed, I get reminders every day.

took some pictures of Ryan-TOO! CUTE!
