Time flies

As I sit here, holding my baby boy trying to make his tummy better, I am once again reminded how fast time goes. This year Jillian will finish high school, Jordyn is a freshman, Jeana will turn 21. Where did my little ones go and why did they get so big so fast. I am so glad Joseph still wants his mommy when he doesn't feel good because one day he won't.  I hope and pray that as they grow up and leave the nest that is our home that we have taught them what they need for life on their own. I want them to know that there is a God and He loves them. I want them to know we love them. I want them to have faith in themselves that they can do anything they set their mind too. I want the best for them in everything. I pine for the times when they were little but have so much joy in what they are becoming. Yes, one day all my little ones will be big, but for now I will keep rocking my baby and will one more moment with him.

First cast...

I know I know, I am terrible at keeping up with our blog. We are always busy and it falls at the end of the to do list. Things are going good here in SoCal! We had a Disneyland trip with all the kiddos recently, which was fun and spontaneous. But before that, Joseph received his first cast. He fell on the stairs and fractured both his radius and his ulna in his right arm. He was a real trooper though and we were positive it was just a sprain and since it was a holiday weekend we waited an extra day til the doctor was open. Surprise, Surprise, it was fractured. Joseph barely cried after the initial fall and didn't complain at all. Can we say, high pain tolerance. Well he has it. He is rocking an awesome green cast and has found ways to use it ie: hitting walls, banging on chairs etc. Of course this happened just a couple months after having him fall and cut his head which we had to have glued closed. I think he needs to be bubble wrapped and wear a helmet at all times. The fun never ends here in the Skinner Clan
