With Sunday being Father’s Day, I wanted to do a special post to honor Brent. He is not as vocal as I am and hates writing even more than me, but he is in this same journey right beside me the whole way. Also I need to give my dad, my step-father and my father-in-law…… Continue reading Father’s Day

Tomorrow starts vacation bible school for our church. Due to a lack of kids our church stopped hosting VBS about 10-12 years ago. But a few years ago, another country church asked us to join forces with them for VBS. Since that time both Cade and Cole have went to this VBS every summer. This…… Continue reading More New Normals

We have hit summer running and haven’t looked back. Unfortunately, I was not prepared to hit summer at such a fast pace. And maybe that is the problem. See, I don’t know that i have enjoyed one bit of summer so far. I love schedules. I crave routine. And there hasn’t been one day with…… Continue reading Slow Down

One year ago today I voiced the question out loud after contemplating and research the night before. Could Cade possibly have muscular dystrophy? Before this date, I had only heard of muscular dystrophy but knew nothing about it. I texted the question to our friend who is a physical therapist. And then I waited. She…… Continue reading D Day Anniversary

I have been feeling extremely anxious as we approach the one year anniversary of Cade’s diagnosis. So many things are running through my head. At least we have been extremely busy and that gives me less time to think about all the things that are making me anxious. First we have finished the chicken coop,…… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

Since Friday, I think that you can label our house “The Crazy Farm”.  With the delay of spring, all kinds of things are behind schedule on the farm.  So on Friday, we branded a small group of our calves.  This meant the boys and Brent went to do the branding along with the help of…… Continue reading Crazy Days

We are one month away from our one year diagnosis day anniversary. While I’m not quite sure what card or gift this occasion calls for, I do have some thoughts on this approaching date. 1. It went by faster than I thought it would. I can’t hardly believe we are almost one year in.  I…… Continue reading Approaching One Year

With the change of seasons, comes the change of schedules in our house. It also brings about the change of the length of waking hours that Brent is available. And since winter hasn’t quite wanted to give it up already, the transition has been bumpy to say the least. So I have found myself paralyzed…… Continue reading Lesson Learned

Our sermon at church this morning was on names and the meaning behind them. As I sat listening, I decided I wanted to find out if Cade’s name meant anything since it was the name both Brent and I liked when we were expecting him. It didn’t carry any specific meaning to us. Here is…… Continue reading All Our Potential

This last week has been a lot of ups and downs at our house. I have been trying to figure out what to write about and what not to write about. Cade has done pretty well for all of it but I have not been doing as well. We are starting to get pretty busy…… Continue reading Better Days Are Coming
