Snow Day.........

Sometimes being a CHD family can be a bit overwhelming. Not only for the parents who have to have the strength of Hercules or Thor, what about the siblings who have to stand by and wonder what is truly going on. For us Madelynn's sibling's were so young, Kaitlynn was 4.5 and Jack was 3. There were days I just wanted to cry because something or someone always fell by the waist side.

With the crazy weather, I have been spending a little bit more time with the kids bordering on insanity. Cooped up in the house, when we can go out trying not to spend unnecessary money a little boring for the kids. Today the girls were unable to play outside due to the bomb that exploded in their room. So Jack had a little fun outside while I took a few pictures.

It was snowing like crazy and he was dying to go play in it. It was one of those rare moments where life feels incredibly normal. More importantly it was just a Mama and her son. Once we came inside we made some hot cocoa.

Before our first snow about two weeks ago, I put two new bird feeders out front. I find sitting watching the birds very calming and good therapy. Today with the heavy snow the birds were fighting for food. Jack and I watched the birds and drank our cocoa.

As I flip through my FB account this week I am regularly reminded at how lucky we are Madelynn survived her CHD journey. But today I was just a mom to a son who loved being an only child where CHD didn't matter if only for a few hours.
