My Big Hearted Boy

I am happy to announce, and hope I'm not jinxing us by doing so, that Seth's sinus infection seems to be clearing a little. For the past 12 nights he has slept through the night without the added help of a sleep aid. I was really worried that our trip to the mountains and him being out in the cold snow so much was going to make things worse but my worry seems to be for nothing. He has started back up in school as of Monday and has not been complaining to the teachers about headaches like he was just before winter break and his appetite seems to be picking up some. We go to the CF clinic on Tuesday and I am hoping that his numbers are still high!!
Also I wanted to share something with you that my angel baby did just before Christmas that made me so proud I thought my heart would explode. I was cleaning out their play room preparing for Santa's big drop off (an air hockey table and basketball game) when Seth asked me what I was doing with some of his things. I explained that I had to throw away the broken things to make room for all the great things he was going to get for Christmas because he was so special this year and that some of the other things that he just didn't mess with any more was going to go to another family who didn't have anything for their kids this year. He asked why they didn't have anything and I explained the money thing and he seemed okay with giving the stuff away. Then I see him go into his toy box (where the "good" toys were) and proceed to pick out 5 additional toys, he asked me where the wrapping paper and tape was and for my help wrapping these things up for those children. And together we sat and wrapped these toys, some of which Seth still played with, and then loaded them into the car. Keep in mind the night before he was up sick and coughing until he threw up 6 times from 3-6am. I was scrubbing the mattress and Kevin had him in the tub hoping he could be soothed into falling back asleep. It is really true what they say about children with special needs, God really does make up in heart what they were shortened in health. Thank you God for my sons amazing heart.

What a great Christmas Break!!!

We had the best time at the ski resort! The kids were perfect and so brave trying new things, although Seth says skiing is "a little tricky" he did really well. We also tubed , made home made sleds to go down the side of the mountain, went to the in-door water park and went to the arcade!
