Cabin Fevers

This winter season appears to have caught up to my family. Ear infections, mysterious headaches and bronchitis are currently moving through our lives. These afflictions make daily living all the more difficult over and above the usual semi-controlled chaos of a large family.

I am able to look past these current minor trials and see the future, to a time when the little people of the family will be ripping and tearing around regardless of the weather, season, or location. I see adventure in their eyes and restless wanderlust lurking in their spirits and I will not curtail this by giving them the trendy, heartless objects that will beckon our children in the future. However I promise to feed their spirituality with love and intensity. For some time now I have refused to grow up and I will rely on their passion to keep me young, and in return I will keep up with them where ever they will have me.

    and I will be right next to you rooting our team on wherever they may chose to go. I have a feeling I will be hiding my eyes in fear to see what our little Griffin has chosen to conquer next and always praying we succeeded in teaching our 4 beauties the difference from right and wrong and trusting the decisions they make will be the "right" one, the one that keeps them safe and happy!

    It's has been interesting growing up during "our" generation, during a time in which many of us have refused to follow the standard for adulthood and in fact have chosen to live without bounds and live without fear of experience and adventure.

    I hate molds and cookie cutters. There is too much to see!
