Tuesday, April 7, 2009 Our Family

I have had alot of people ask about our family and wanting to know a little about us. Well I am the mom, Stacy, and my husband is Bill. I am 25 and Bill is 39. We have a total of 7 children (2 of them we currently don't see). My children (before me and Bill) are Austin age 9 (will be 10 April 20th), and Chase age 6 (will be 7 April 13th), then my children (with bill) are Shailyn age 1 (will be 2 May 14th), and Shailee age 1 week 6 day (but you know all about her), Then there is my step daughter who is her with us quite often and her name is Shaina age 16. My husband works full time (actually over full time more like 50+ hours a week) and he is also a full time college student studying for degrees in human services as well as criminal justice. I am a full time college student studying to be an RN (registered nurse) and a full time mom. I am also an ovarian cancer survivor of almost 2 years now, which is one more reason that out little Shailee is a special blessing because we were told i only had a one in a million chance to get pregnant again! Both of the boys play baseball (which is just getting started again) and they are in 3rd grade and Kindergaten. My 6 year old is a challange for us at times as well as he is adhd and bipolar, but his symptoms are pretty well under control these days, but he still has his bad days just like we all do. My 1 year old, well, she is your typical toddler, into everything, and wants to be a part of everything! My step daughter, well she is just awesome! She helps us out alot with the kids and taking care of things since Shailee is in the hospital, we are lucky to have such a great person in our lives. We are a very low income family, but we do our best to find ways to make it work the best we can, and i have also had several people ask if they can send us donations to help in this time with medical expenses for Shailee and travel costs so we can be with her more, and we are working on getting a p.o. box so we can make that happen, and i will post when we have reached that point and time. We all want to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers, offers, and support. for those of you who don't have my email if you ever have any questions or would lust like to contact me feel more than free to email me at stacyloaks@yahoo.com and i will reply as soon as i have the chance. I am adding some pics of me and my hubby as well as the kids so you can get to know our family more. We may not have much but at the end of each day we have each other which is something that money can never buy. Thank you everyone, and I will be updating on little Shailee later today.
