The Wilson Avenue Adventures

                                         And there it is. We still believe in the American Dream. Both Darlene and I have owned a house before, but for both of us this feels like our first time. We have been looking forward to this for a few years now. Our hard work is paying off and we will have our own place again. The kids will no longer be sharing a room and we will have plenty of room for our families and friends to visit us. Our closing date is next week. The house needs a bit of work. It is dirty and needs a little bit of new paint, but we are excited to start working on it. My goal is to use this blog as a way of sharing our adventures. To show before and after photos on our work and possibly some videos to go along with them. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel

You may or may have not have heard Violet spending a night in the hospital.  She had a fever, we took her to the doctor and they needed to run some tests.  She had a high white blood cell count so they admitted her.  Once of the worse things ever is to have to hold your daughter down as she is crying so hard that she gags on her ow...
