Paul and Becky + 8

You may have heard of the reality show - Jon and Kate +8. It's about the lives of family with 8 kids (most under the age of 6). Well, this week, it's Paul and Becky + 8.

We have 3 incredible kids staying with us this week as they all go to music camp at our church. Ashley, Morgan, and Leighton are dear friends of ours from Lake Jackson, TX and we picked them up on Saturday afternoon.

Now, we are use to the looks that we get when we go out to eat (mainly because of our matching outfits), but you should see the looks you get when you show up with 8 kids. People stare at you like the Von Trapp family has come to town. But, we don't care - we are having a blast.

I'll post more about it this week - and our camera is back from the repair shop so new pics are coming soon.

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.
