a different kind of perfect

i'm a mom...on a mission...to enjoy life everyday...appreciate the little moments...try not to get so easily annoyed...raise my kids with a faith legacy that leads them to continue to be amazing people...and to make my husband feel as special as he makes me feel.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

CF is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30k children and adults in the US (70k worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that both clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Happy 5th Birthday Evie Dorothy!

A little break from the CF updates to share that Evie Dorothy Burns turned 5 yesterday!  Time flies...she is an awesome little girl.   Jim took the day off of work to take her to breakfast but she said, I don't want to go!  He said ok.  After a great day helping in her classroom at school and a short playdate, Jim asked her to go to lunch, she said, I don't want to go!  He said, well what do you want to do?  This was her answer:

Our little overachiever watches and mimics dad in all his athletic endeavors.  Love it!

We cooked her favorite dinner (Auntie Mayra's marinated Flank Steak and corn on the cob) which doesn't jive with the plant-based nutrition but we obliged for our little Sweet Cheese.  When asked earlier, Evie said she didn't want cake, cupcakes or a cookie, just ice cream from the creamery but we had to take our bikes there to get it.  She wouldn't accept riding in the car.  We had a great ride, the storms held off and the kids got a treat we don't usually indulge in:

Evie - 5

Cali - 9

Owen - 7

Dean - 3
 Evie, we pray you all treasure your free spirit and forever keep your sense of independence and adventure.  We love you with all our hearts!
