Five years ago....

Keagan with his best friend Jamin
       Five years ago today we were at the Seward Hospital relaxing, enjoying our miracle baby and our Christmas vacation.  We had our plan all laid out to go in on the 27th and have that baby  After a miserable Christmas Day I went home to sleep and got interrupted at 2am.  It was a very nice interruption and we got to have that baby on the 26th instead!
    Keagan Michael Burkey is Five today!  He's the one who sings clear and on tune while he plays. He's the one who knows what Mathias is trying to tell us.  He's our skinny little wiggle worm.  He's fiery and full of it and he pushes himself to be as tough and big as his 9 year old brother.  He's our scientist and perfectionist.  We love him.
     He told everyone yesterday that we can't have his birthday till Thursday because Jamin has to be here and Jamin can't be here today.  So hopefully later this week we can have his cake (When Jamin can be here).

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
