Questions and Answers..Part One

Okay you asked and I answer....

You all asked some wonderful questions...I am going to answer a few each day this week...

I would love for each of you to keep asking questions..I love that you ask and they make me think...


Grace asked...How did we pick Reed's name and what is the one thing I love best about him.

To be honest I am not sure how I even thought of the name Reed. I do not recall when I even heard it for the first time. We do not know anyone who is named Reed so it must of just been a name I heard and it clicked.

What I Love best about Reed. There are so many things. But I can tell you that Reed is the sweetest child I know . He is so sweet and so emotional in many ways. He was the best baby I had. And has grown into the most wonderful young man. He has the most gentle heart. He has never been in trouble except for the...clean your room or else.. God so blessed me when he allowed me to be Reed's mom.


Bluesuede asked me If I loved her best...

I know she already knows the answer to this..but of course I do..how could I now. She has been nothing but supportive on the good and the bad days since day one. What a blessing to know ..no matter what ..I have her support...so yes..I love you BEST..


Holly asked what family support I have here locally ..

Jim's parents live here in town. They have been a wonderful help with the children over the years while we have taken care of Philip's medical issues. In fact I am not sure what we would of done without them. In fact my MIL and I have spent weeks sleeping in ICU waiting rooms...
Jim's sister lives about 45 minutes away. Reed has been spending a lot of time there lately earning money working at the church .. going towards his youth church trip. This has been a wonderful blessing for Reed. I have been joking that Aunt Anne and Uncle Jay can not claim Reed on their taxes..lol
The rest of our family is busy with their own families. And a few of them seem to judge me rather then support me...why? I am not sure. I am trying my best..that is all I can do. Really in the end ..that is all we can do...Right?


Sussie asked..what is something you want to do with the kids before the summer is over?

Go to Wet and Wild...LOL. For years we have planned to go and never seem to get there. In fact Emily saw that if we go once we can go free for the rest of the year free. Since it is by Philip's DR in Orlando we could go often., we just have not . The last time we went was 8 years ago. That in insane. The kids ask every year and for some reason life gets in the way. Life has a way of doing that. Huh? Maybe not this summer.


Karen asked....what is your favorite drink..

Diet Coke...and StarBucks..( I am so cheap I never go there ...)

Okay..I think this was a good start...I will answer more tomorrow. I think I am sort of boring...

If you have a question..ask away..I will answer..
