Poor sad Rissa Rain

If anyone really knows Larissa, they know she knows how to put on the pouty face. It is so sad and so cute. I love it. She has these sad eyes and believe me she works them to her advantage. Yesterday while we were on the way to Aunt Becky's house for a 7 birthday celebration, I looked back at Larissa and noticed she had thrown up all over herself. I was shocked I did not know why. She did not seem sick at all, well I brought no extra clothes so we had to stop at Target to buy something for her. After cleaning her and the car seat up we were on our way again. At Aunt Becky's she seemed fine she wanted to eat and she ate quite a bit. Then she threw up on the floor. Aunt Becky to the rescue, she was so quick and awesome at helping me, I guess being an RN helped. Well after that we headed home and when we were about half way there she did it again. This time it just so happens we were right by Grandma Phyllis's house. We called her and said we needed a place to stop and get her cleaned up. She said come right over. We went in and gave her a bath and Linnea joined in too of course. With grandmas love and nurturing Larissa seemed to feel a lot better. Daddy went outside armed with paper towels and a bottle of Fantastic to clean up the car seat. After we visited for a little bit grandma wrapped Larissa up in a baby blanket she used to use for Chad. She did not want Linnea to feel left out so she got all wrapped up too. The drive home then was quiet the twins both fell fast asleep. I am so thankful for the love and care of a sweet grandma who helped us out in our time of need. The twins are too I'm sure. Today she seems fine I do not know what made her so sick. The poor twins had just got over having the rotto virus 2 weeks ago, Which they were champs all through it, so this happening again really scared us. I am thankful however for times when we are in need and get to feel so blessed by others.

Mya Carter

Singer, Poet, Friendly. Sensitive, Caring, good friend. She is the softness in our home. Mya is my little mother she helps so much with the babies. They love her like a second mom. I always call her my queen, and she reigns surpreme sometimes even with a little attitude. Her strength will carry through the temptations in this life. She is firm in her beliefs and I am so proud of her. I love her warm smile. She looks so much like her late Grandma Marsha, which is such a blessing. Now her dad can see his mom in his beautiful daughter.

She is driven and studies hard in school. She likes things organized and neat. She is playful and sometimes has us laughing at her silliness. I am so grateful for her. I prayed for another girl when I was pregnant with her because I wanted Mya to have a sister. I hope she knows how special it is to be a sister and to be a good one. She radiates and we are blessed to have her.

He is a rare gem with great potential. He is our little einstein.

Linnea looks out for Larissa she tries to keep her out of trouble and leads her into trouble too. She moves non-stop when she is awake, and tires mommy out.

I feel overwhelmed alot but alos overwhelmed with good feelings for my glorious blessings.

Summer News

The summer is here, and already going fast. Forrest, Mya, Harmony, and Liam are all in Reseda California (LA) Visiting with dad Travis, step mom Marika, and new baby brother Mattias. They are also spending time with cousins and uncles. They are having a great time. We all talk everyday. I miss them tons. I do not breathe the same because 4 pieces of my heart are missing. I am getting lots done here though and trying to use my extra time wisely.
My mom got us ALL a membership at the Massillon Recreation center. She is SO awesome. I honestly do not know how she keeps up with needs of all her children and grandchildren. THANKS MOM!! We have gone quite a bit. The babies are warming up to the water and starting to have lots of fun. I like summer but I do not love it. I prefer fall and winter but I plan to make this a great summer, I might even let myself get a tan. I usually hide from the sun…I don’t want any wrinkles!!!!
