Since I last posted, Avery has had two hospitalizations, Isaiah one, we bought a handicapped van, a 14 yr Anniversary and a new 6 yr old and I've been drowning in work. So now you see why I have not posted in awhile. I just get so sick of the medical life.... I mean, I know that it comes with the territory but I me and Rick certainly didn't sign up for it. Sometimes, actually most times, we are just getting through the day. We just cannot catch a break and neither can our boys. If I don't laugh then I will never stop crying. Case in point. Isaiah's hospitalization which was so unexpected as he has not been inpatient in more than 6 yrs but due to a pharmacy drug overdose. That's another story and something that I won't get into but just glad that both my boys have survived. My point being, that the staff at CHB know Mr. Avery well but heard about his brother but had no idea how crazy our life was until they lost him in his hospital bed., lmao... Yeah, yah read that right!!! my crazy man was in a caged mesh bed and still managed to get himself lost in the bed. I guess I really didn't realize how freaking crazy our life was until Mr. Isaiah got hospitalized. Let's just say, home is where he belongs. It's safe for all involved......
At this point I have so many emotions its not even funny. Rick and I go through so much as it is and even more than most go through in a lifetime. But still we go through it together and always come out stronger. That's where our kids have learned it for sure. We are all survivors and just good people. I don't know what our prize is in the end but I know it's something great for what we endure and will have to endure. The only thing that gets us through is those beautiful happy smiles.

Can't you feel the love :)
Oh and he did have hair at one point |
By the way, don't think we are leaving out Janessa b/c she is already at the age that she thinks anything we do is embarrassing and does not want to be photographed at all. Lucky the boys don't mind :)

Thanks for sharing! Love the beautiful pics! I share your laughter and tears! Wish I could take some of the burden from you guys! xoxo
There are so many times I feel guilty that instead of always writing about special needs and family in my blog I write product reviews.....but like you guys...we didnt sign up for this and everyone needs a break.
Hope everyone is home and stays there for a long time! Happy Anniversary.
