Just the start to my story...

I am the mommy to two wonderful boys a one and two year old. They are both my pride and joy. They are both fun loving happy boys that love to get into just about everything, they are all boy! My husband travels with the pipeline so we are constantly on the road. My oldest son Hunter who is two and a half has already lived in 6 different states including Tennessee, Minnesota, New York, Florida, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Hunter has been traveling since he was 2 weeks old and Kingston my one year old was 2 months old before he started traveling. Believe it or not they love being in the vehicle and are constantly asking to go bye bye. Thank God for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, they could watch Mickey on repeat all day long, it makes 14 hour car rides much easier. They are just happy little boys that are content with their lives.  The boys have always been big boys. At one year they both were 30 pounds. Their dad Jeremy is a big guy as well as their Poppy(my dad) and my brother Denny who is 6'5". We all thought they were going to be big men because it ran in the family. We also thought it was normal especially since we have always had big babies in our family. They looked like normal healthy babies to us. The doctor always remarked on how big they were getting (they have always been off the charts) and was very cautious about it. I was always just one happy mamma about it, figured I had to be doing something right.  The boys pediatrician decided to send us to genetics's and have them tested. After months of going back and forth for blood work and urine samples and boy was that not fun getting it from a one year old! We then found out Hunter had an abnormality in his blood and urine that had to do with an enzyme deficiency. We then had to go back to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville from Binghamton, NY to get Kingston and Hunter tested one more time. We also then spent Christmas at our house near Nashville, TN and spent some quality time with my husbands family. After that we were headed back to NY to go stay with my parents since Jeremy would be working in PA, which is only an hour away from my parents house. It works out good for us since we get to spend time with my family and the boys have their cousins and 6 year old Uncle Cooper to play with. Thankfully my parents have a big house or we would all end up killing each other, with now 5 kids under the same roof ages ranging from newborn to 6 years old. :) Hunter and Kingston love playing with their cousins and Uncle Coop. I think they are very lucky to have this opportunity to have a play date every day and to get Nana and Poppy's lovings every morning.
