Kidz Krew Grew By a Few!

I am so thrilled to have added a few more talented and amazing women to 'the krew.' Let's get you all introduced! ....

Amber
Brandon's mom
Blog: Pray for Brandon

I love my kids and family more than anything.

Becky
Ben's mom
Blog: Benjamin McKay Orton

I am the lucky mother of four amazing children (two in each flavor) and wife to my soul mate who makes me laugh every single day. Our youngest child was born with a very little brain, but incidentally seems to teach us more than we could ever reciprocate. I am very fortunate to be able to stay home with him and be his caregiver. He communicates by showing unconditional love. Benjamin is my constant sidekick and makes my life complete! Aside from mothering, laundering, toilet scrubbing and chauffeuring I LOVE to eat fresh fruit, play basketball, read a good book and organize my closets. I enjoy playing the piano, a good scrabble game, holding newborns, learning new things and filling my home with freshly baked goodies. Being home with family is my favorite place to be. I choose to be happy and relish finding joy in my journey.

Janis
Austin's mom
Blog: Sneak Peek

Janis is a busy single mom and personal assistant to Austin, an adorable, G-tube fed, Trached and BAHA-wearing toddler. Austin, born at 36 weeks, is diagnosed with Branchio-Oto-Renal (Melnick-Fraser) syndrome. At quick glance, his medical chart is likely to include the following terms: Bilateral Microtia, Aural Atresia, Hemifacial Microsomia, Dysphasia, Micrognathia, GERD, Chronic Lung Disease, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Hypotonia and Macrocephaly, to name a few.

Janis is looking forward to the day when they can ditch all the doctors, nurses and therapists; in the meantime, she writes about Austin's life on her blog.



Jocalyn
Kendall's mom
Blog: Kendall's Hope

My name is Jocalyn. I am married to my best friend Justin, and blessed to be called "mom" by Kamden (a gifted and talented 8 year old) and Kendall (my baby with special needs.) I'm a once-party-girl-turned-career-girl-turned-stay-at-home-mom. I am enjoying my life, living in the now, (taking it one second at a time) while trusting in God to show me the way. And, I'm learning to love this new-found "special needs sisterhood" I've been plopped in the middle of...
