A New Spin On Morning Work and a Freebie to Get You Organized.

Morning Work! Yuck!  Seriously  . . . yuck!  We feel like we need to have something for our kiddos to do while they file into our room haphazardly in the morning.  Most of them are on time, but many are 5, 10 or 15 minutes or more late for class.   I hate starting a new lesson … [Read more...]

    2 months ago by DifferKinder Feeling very blessed by MacKale’s progress. He was up and walking day two and continues to look stronger everyday. All nerve blocks and drains are out. He doesn’t really complain of any pain, but wasn’t really happy when they removed the tape that was on his stomach. Who knew that bellybuttons had so much hair and that removing tape would be the most painful part of amputation? We should be able to bust outta here tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers!  #amputee   #osteosarcoma   #hemophilia   #hemophilamom   #childhoodcancer
