We Need Your Help!

Some of you may know that we recently put our home on the market after finding a house in the country with a little more space, inside and out. We love our current home, and it has suited our growing family quite well over the past ten years. But now we have FIVE energetic boys who love to run and explore, who dream of owning a BIG "yard" dog, who want to dangle a fishing line out back, and who, like their father, have COUNTRY BOY surging through their veins.  Our current house and yard just don't seem to contain all the energy they have these days. And Steve and I have finally reached the point in our child-rearing years that a family move actually seems do-able. There's just one minor detail...

We have to sell this house first!

It's a slow real estate market and buyers haven't exactly been lining up outside our door for showings (we're even keeping the house clean, and that's an unusual feat!) So we're asking for your help.

No, we're not collecting donations to finance a second home (though if you have free cash floating around, we will gladly put it to good use.) We're simply asking for you to pass the word on. If you know anyone you might be interested in a roomy, well-maintained home with an incredible floor plan and backyard view in west Wichita, please point them our way. Mortgage rates are at all time lows, and our home is priced to move! Visit our listing here on Realtor.com, and tour our CLEAN house by clicking here. If you refer the lucky buyer, we will commission you with a lifetime supply of tomatoes from our future garden and fishing rights to the pond out back.

Pass the word along... do your part to stimulate the economy!

Did You Know?... Samuel

Zachary isn't our only baby who has been intrigued with our corner cupboard.  Many of you commented about messes similar to this that your little ones have made with pantry contents: And FYI... that wasn't flour scattered all over the floor, but cornstarch!  Have you ever tried to clean spilled cornstarch?  It's not an easy job.  But back to our story... Every child of mine has gotten into this corner cupboard.  What about baby locks? you ask.  Well, it has one.  But it doesn't catch well and the boys have always been able to pry it open, anyway.  And I usually let them.  The unorganized contents of this cupboard provide for some fairly safe and lengthy entertainment, and it usually doesn't take me long to shove everything back in once the baby gets bored.  But there are some exceptions, and one day when Sammy was just shy of a year old...  Did you know... that he got into the cooking wine?! Once again I must thank my talented mothe...

Thankful for Trouble

These days, Zachary is without a doubt full of trouble!  He served his first couple of time-outs this week for smacking his older brother.  He arches his back and screams until he is blue in the face when he doesn't get his way.  He still crawls up and stands on our kitchen table and countertops, and when he is sternly corrected, he reaches to hug me and says in his sweetest, buttering-up little voice, "Mama, Mama..."  He doesn't seem to learn, after flipping and falling backwards off chairs, that they're not to be danced on.  He begs to play outside with the big boys while they ride bikes up and down the sidewalk.  And he didn't care too much when one neighbor boy accidentally ran him over.  He hops in his little Cozy Coupe, pushes off, and heads straight down the driveway towards the street.  My own heart skips a beat as I scream and run after him, just as he reaches the curb.  He won't sit patiently in the shopping cart, but stands up a...

Home Sweet Home

Zachary is home again, our family is reunited, and we are loving it!  Actually, I'm already getting fed up with Sammy's whining, with the bigger boys' fighting, with the mess... but it's WONDERFUL to be dealing with normal things again. Zachary is still in some pain on and off, usually as his pain meds are wearing off.  He is not quite himself; we don't see as many smiles yet and he is very clingy.  But he will get there!  Zachary is taking Tylenol and Motrin for pain, with an occasional dose of oxycodone.  He is back on diuretics (Lasix and Aldactone) to keep fluid from building around his lungs and throughout his body, easing the workload on his heart.  Over the course of the next year he will wean off his diuretics.  The only other med he is taking is aspirin, which thins the blood to prevent clotting.  He will take aspirin for the rest of his life. Zachy is very fearful and suspicious of strangers, especially young, pretty girls, who look like...
