Sarah Rise Weekly Updates

This week we got 34 hours. It has been wonderful having Sonia back! It gives me time to do some things besides cooking, cleaning, groceries, Sarah-Rise, and kids. What I did with some of that time was start this Sarah-Rise blog. I feel like this has been and continues to be such an amazing journey… Read more »

40 hours!!!! The girls now share a double wide bed (words they both love to say). I think this is helping Amy sleep a bit more soundly than when she is just on her own. One night they were both up for a bit in the middle of the night and for a change I… Read more »

This week we got 36 hrs and 45 min. It really seems to be true that something always changes or comes up so that my ideal planned week doesn’t quite occur as I thought it would. What is wonderful about the current plan and schedule is that we can still get amazing SR hours even… Read more »
