Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She was on dialysis since she was 3 months old and for much of that time, did dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She receive a much needed kidney / liver transplant on December 18, 2009. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants.

quarry hill

We had fun going to Quarry Hill Nature Center today. Ducks. Tadpoles. Snakes. Spiders. Turtles. Owls. Bees. Fish. Birds. Chickens. Dino bones. = wonder in a child's eyes!!

Boys and their sticks. The possibilities are endless!

The back of kids having fun...

...and the front of kids having fun!


Mabel loved seeing the fish and smacking her lips together again and again...her way of saying FISH! She couldn't figure out if the fish were going to get her or not!

Good times!!
