Voting Day and....

Ironically enough on this very day 11years ago, I missed voting day for a VERY important reason.  Spencer was born.  I had complications from about 32 weeks on in that pregnancy, and he was determined to arrive early.  He was due November 25th of that year, but came 3.5 weeks early, all 7lb 13 oz.  My best friend Liz who was supposed to be my labor coach didn't make it in time, he came so quickly. 

It's hard to believe the bumpy journey that we've had these last 11years.  I know that the Lord is holding our hands as we travel on this journey, but there are many times, especially when it comes to Spencer, that I would LOVE if the Lord would give me just a sneak peak as to what's coming down the road for him, are we making the right decisions for him, and if his life will get any easier.  No mother wants her child's life to be filled with obstacles and difficulties, but alas I worry that's what it will be for him.  He has hit a big road block as far as schooling goes, and we are starting to look at homeschooling more as an option for  both him and his sister Dawn.  Lord has been giving me a lot of great feed back in regards to that, providing resources for me, and giving me the not so quiet shove into that direction. I honestly am starting to feel that would be the best option for the two of them...but we shall see.

Spencer will have a small party to celebrate turning a 11 years old. They will go to the movies and have the party there...this will be interesting.

Happy Birthday Spencer!!!  The two of us will be going to breakfast soon, to celebrate his birthday, just like I did with Dawn when it was her birthday earlier this year.
