Well kids are kids..lol I consider myself very fortunate to have my children when I go to the stores and see kids running wild..

My son Tony (11) is a bookworm for the most part unless its science oriented. He tell sme he is going to be a marine biologist and go to college in Main. He reads Harry Potter type books in about 3 days and is always looking out for new things to get his hands on.. I had to put my Stephen King books away so he would stop begging me ( I just think they are alittle too grown up for him) . Hes tough and really honestly his courage over the spring and summer was the only thing that held me together while he was sick. He underwent 3 bone biopsy's (1 skull & 2 hip) while the childrens hospital ws trying to figure out what ws going on with him. Started out thinking he had growing pains and found the lesions on his bones through MRI and cat scans. Doctors thought it was a blood disease but couldnt prove it without a definate diagnosis of a lesion so teh biopsy's started. One lesion was on his tailbone and it compressed and fractured it along with a major infection in his hip and that landed him in a wheel chair. I never evre imagined how brave he could be and he really surprised me. We were in the hospital; more than out and the last time they went in for a biopsy the doctor came out and told me they had canceled it. I was furious and didnt understand even afte he told me there was nothing there. Amazingly all the lesions just went away along with the pain. He still goes in for check ups to monitor the re-growth of the bones and repair of the spot on his skull where they did the biopsy but the doctors dont believe it. Tony says it ws because we all prayed so hard and I believe it too. It was a hard time for the familyu but we got through it and he doesnt take anything for granted anymore. He even passed his fcats from home and was in the top3 scores in teh whole school. Sorry I have to brag on my boy he is my strength..

Tristen well she is a very indeopendant 6 year old (6 1/2 if you ask her). She loves to read big books and can read a Harry Potter Book in about 2 weeks. She takes after me with her love of animals and gardening but mostly horses. We sent her a few years back to a daycare that had horseback riding and that was all it took. She cared after Tony when he was home and even brought presents home from the teachers at the school for him. She says Tony is her hero and I think that is the best thing I ever heard. She caught me in afew moments of weakness when I thought no-one was around and she would just hug me and tell me it was all going to be okay. Shes too smart for her own good really.

They both are my blessings and I dont know what I would do without them. I know they say a hug and kiss from mommy or daddy can fix anything but I say its the love from the kids that makes the diference. Well see now Im rambling on again.. lol
