Welcome! My name is Kat and I'm the mother of 4. Rachel is living with a universally terminal illness called Juvenile Batten Disease. Rachel, Julie, London, Boston and I are doing everything we can to suck the marrow out of life and looking to raise money for Batten Disease Research. Watch us make the most of the time we have.

Our kiddos had their picture taken with Santa near the Paragon Park Carousel.

I signed John up to do Village Idol and took the video (so I could hide behind the camera, I won’t lie). Rachel is hiding in the shadows, John is multitasking with Julie and Boston while London is sitting in the audience with another child’s father. This was during our Make a Wish trip at “Give Kids the World.”

If I didn’t have 4 human alarm clocks to wake me up in the morning, I would soooo want one of these:

It has been weeks since we have had a “day off” and it was amazing. It honestly felt like Christmas (no exaggeration). No school, no work, no customers, no shop. Just the 6 of us, all day long.
I feel so refreshed (I actually stayed in bed until 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Today was an amazing day.

I will resume my blog soon, I promise.
The marriage has been going pretty good and I am very happy about it!
The girls are great, their summer school finished a couple of weeks ago.
The boys are coming up on 1 and 2 and I cannot freakin’ wait! Once Boston turns 1, I’ll take a deep breath and start to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.
This weekend I plan on taking major amounts of pictures and will share them with y’all. I have had a horrible relationship with my digital camera and have been terrible about taking pictures because of it.
School starts in 5(ish) weeks for me and I am working on getting John enrolled as well. : – o

I really, really, really love watching a good movie at home. I know that John and I have not been able to get much alone time since we have been together (nearly 6 years!) but when we have the time to sit down and watch a movie in the comforts of our leather couch, there really is no finer adult activity that I can think of to do. We had my friend from HS join us and Rachel actually ended up watching the first 30 minutes and it was just so nice to kick back with people you are completely comfortable with and hang out with a good movie.
