Teenager in da House

Aidan turns 13 today. I am now officially the father of a teenager. And as I lay in bed last night, I told Becky, 'You realize, for the next 17 years, we will have a teenager(s) in the house". And, not just any teenagers - but teenage boys. ( I don't even want to think about the car insurance in a few years).

But to my oldest son, I look forward to watching you mature these next few years, to see how you turn your beliefs into actions, and to see world through your eyes. Happy Birthday Aidan.

Introduction

This all began with emails, random thoughts, and prayer requests when our 5th son, Titus Beck, was born. From the moment he was born, issues arose which have led us on a new journey of faith.

Titus was born with micronagthia (recessed chin) that blocked his breathing, cleft palate, profound deafness, blindness, Dandy-Walker variant, ASD/VSD, hemi-vertebrae in the spine, and the list continues. He has had 8 surgeries in 14 months and spent 115 days in the NICU or PICU.

And yet, with all of that, Titus is gift from God, a blessing, a content and happy baby.

And along with Titus, we have 4 other boys, 2 golden retrievers, 2 nurses, and whole cast of characters that flow in and out of our house. To us, it's quite routine and normal, but others don't seem to see it that way. Follow along the journey of our daily life.
