Amanda and the Hendersons

This Photo has nothing to do with this post....but I like it.  And, I have been with out a computer until recently so I am WAY behind on photos.......  I had a good weekend........spent a lot of time with some of my best friends.... Got a lot of baby holding in, and learned a lot of new things on Friday, Saturday began with Coffee and some hair chopping with another great pal and ended with a slumber party with some crazy ladies......and today, some Awesome Church followed by a whole lot of NOTHING.......... I am so thankful for the friends I have....old and new.  I am thankful for the ones who listen, to my problems and my worries.....I am thankful for the ones who talk and distract me from my whole life....and I'm thankful for the ones that love me.....NO. MATTER. WHAT. Devan had a pretty good weekend too......His team took first place in the fishing tournament they entered this weekend.... Pretty cool! The next couple of weeks are going to be ...

A few days ago, Parklen and I took a day trip to the Children's hospital.  It was a super long day, over 8 hours of driving and many hours in between of crazy appointments.....none of which went as planned.  It has become clear to me, after over three years of being a "regular" at a hospital....that when a Dr. says "we have a plan" it really just means...."we talked a little about this....were thinking its a possibility, but more than likely we will change our minds with in the next five minutes...." Seriously, the term "practicing" medicine, is a true statement...there is no definite.  This is even more true when your son has a rare disease, of which very little trial and error have been compiled.  So we traveled down....with a plan in mind.... and we left, with a new one.  Neither which are better than the other....just different.   I will tell you all something right now......Parklen is more than loved by his doctors and nurses....

Paysen got new glasses a couple weeks ago.....he looks just as smart as he truly is..... It has been a super busy week.......a whole lot of stuff has been crammed into just a few days.....I welcome chaos......honestly, could I survive with out it??.......Its just my norm. Easter means so many different things to me........It is truly one of my most favorite holidays.  I am shaken daily with the thoughts of Jesus, and what he did so long ago.........and the extra, universal focus during Easter, hits me harder. Paysen asked Jesus into his heart a few months ago and since that day, conversations about my Lord with my five year old have contained much much Joy.  Last night we were talking about the cross, and the Resurrection......I explained to him that even if Paysen was the one and only person to believe in Jesus and ask him into his heart.....Jesus would have gone through with the cross anyway.  Telling this to my five year old is so easy, stopping and ...
