Mystery
He walked into the kitchen while I chopped onions for dinner. He began to talk about a new video game release, and I, being distracted, gave some distant mumbles of assent. Suddenly, he walked up to me. "Mom, you look like you need a hug." Then he hugged me. And held me. He's 13, nearly 14. The...

Hugs and continued prayer

An update. Not the one we wanted, but an update.
Sarah went to Cedars this past Friday-Monday for her clinical evaluation. This is the next "final" step in her process to surgery. First, they approve her as a donor. Then, she does her clinical where they test her mentally, physically and financially then give a Go, No Go. We begin treatment on...

Alive and Kicking
Hi, I'm Shannon. Once upon a time I blogged here, and then I took an entirely unplanned break, and then I started getting e-mails asking me if I had died. So it seemed like I should pop in and put those concerns to rest: I have not died, run away, or otherwise gone crazy (despite Hubs' occasiona...

Quick, cute and frugal recycled birthday gift
This weekend was our third birthday party in as many weeks. I have been feeling rather uncreative recently so resorted to books for the last two gifts. But for today's party I was determined to make something. So last night I made this pencil and note book roll. I hope she likes it. I ma...

Fear.
We received a call today during Jonathan's track meet today, that the cross match and genetic testing results were back from "J". Her blood was a great match with two of six markers, but the rejection test (I should understand this better, but I don't) needed to be under 32, and mine respon...
I just linked to this post!

Kind Of Like the Griswolds, Except With Snow
There's plenty that's unpleasant about being a grown up. Income taxes and colonoscopies come to mind. But adulthood has its benefits, too. Chief among them being no more recess and PE. I spent the first 17 years of my life trying to figure out creative ways to avoid showing my peers that I have ...
