Sometimes the gifts of Christmas come to us in watching our children. One of these moments was watching Ry be a " Rock'n Santa" he "suited" the part!

I wish, I wish I could take it all away from my little girl. This horrible disease that will cause her muscles to waste away until it takes her life. I know that there is a reason for everything.. Why does life have to be so painful? Amidst the pain we live of course. We laugh and be silly. we Do not rain on our daughter's parade. But when she is not watching we look at her and we see an "Earth Angel" - a little girl who demands no attention. Our hearts are breaking every more each day. We see signs of more weakness in her :( God will call all of us home at some point we know. We just want to hold on.. to protect her from the pain and hurting of this disease! Oh how I ache for her. I love you so much Nicole! So, So much!!
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Main article: Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood form of muscular dystrophy. DMD usually becomes clinically evident when a child begins walking. Patients typically require a wheelchair by age 10 to 12 and die in their late teens or early 20s. In the early 1990s, researchers identified the gene for the protein dystrophin which, when absent, causes DMD. The dystrophin gene is the largest known gene in humans. Since the gene is on the X-chromosome, this disorder affects primarily males. Females who are carriers have milder symptoms. Sporadic mutations in this gene occur frequently, accounting for a third of cases. The remianing two-thirds of cases are inherited in a recessive pattern. age at onset: two to six years; symptoms include general muscle weakness and wasting; affects pelvis, upper arms, and upper legs; eventually involves all voluntary muscles; survival beyond 20 years is rare.[4]
Dystrophin is part of a complex structure involving several other protein components. The "dystrophin-glycoprotein complex" helps anchor the structural skeleton within the muscle cells, through the outer membrane of each cell, to the tissue framework that surrounds each cell. Due to defects in this assembly, contraction of the muscle leads to disruption of the outer membrane of the muscle cells and eventual weakening and wasting of the muscle.[4]

A note on Nicole's update.
Dear Family and Friend,
Wes and I have recently had meetings at our school with a whole crew of people that will help Nicole along with her muscular dystrophy. This will be implemented this year. It was a great meeting with people who care and want the best for her. It has been so hard lately as we see the disease definitely progressing – faster than what we hoped. She is exhausted most days and has slept from about 4pm until 7am the next day, waking up only to go to the bathroom and have a drink.
With this meeting the physiotherapist and occupational therapist came to our home to assess it. Knowing that we are still in the process of renovation an old home they wanted to see what we could do to make it wheelchair assessable. It is a cozy home that has taken some time to finish as Wes enjoys doing it and we live in the process of it all. Everyone loves it here! It does not seem possible to make the lifts and possibly a outdoor type lift. There needs to be a way to move the wheelchair around in a complete circle and be able to get into the house. Being that we have a huge back yard it would be possible to add on etc. God knew this appointment in our life would come up with Nicole and I firmly believe in my heart that, that is why we have not finished renos. There are all sorts of funding for lifts etc. for our home that we have just learned about.
I ask in faith that God will direct us to know if this is the home in which we should finish to accommodate this new way of living or he will show us a home in which it has been already been done or even that we would be able to build one. We have a huge enough lot that we could do that here without having to move. This downtown living is specifically good for Nicole as she has the pool, library and things to do as they are so close.
We believe God has intended us to ask in prayer what we shall do and we have been so thankful for our family, friends and church rallying around us in support and love. We have never been so loved in a before We have been grieving so much lately and as we notice the changes in Nicole it has not been easy. God is the God of impossibility and we pray and believe so much; however it still is hard. L
We ask for prayer and guidance as we go through this process from the bottom of our hearts.
Blessings,
Wes and Alanna Drews

Deb Buchner - One of my best friends wrote this :)
Pondering The Development of Roots
Deb Buchner --- Spring 2007
Spring has sprung in my yard and it’s so lovely after the lack of sun all winter. As transplants to The Lower Mainland it’s the darkness of winter that I find hard.
Yesterday I was pulling sunflower sprouts from the rocky path of my garden area, and noted that they were very well rooted. These sunflowers were originally grown from seeds from my first homeschooling friend here in Chilliwack – Alanna. They have been growing in my yard for a few years now, and are a nice mix of mine and Alanna’s friendship.
When Alanna and I first formed our friendship I was still focused on leaving The Lower Mainland, and Alanna would look sad when I talked about leaving. She would kindly talk to me about developing roots where God planted me.
Yesterday I realized I have rooted right where God planted me. My roots are intertwined with the bonds and connections I have made here. Alanna shared a part of herself with me in assisting me in rooting to my community.
This summer when I look at the tall sunflowers growing in my garden I will be reminded of how deeply rooted I am to where God Planted me AND the role that my friends in my new community had in this quiet process I didn’t realize was happening. THANKS!!!!

A letter from my heart written to explain Nicole's condition:
Hi there,
Ihave some very, very sad news.. i don't even feel like talkign or writing but i know that if you know it will make me feel better . Nicole has muscular dystrophy a rare form that is only usually found in boys. There are only 2 girls in the province that have it. It is called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. She will eventually not be able to walk and need a wheelchair and the prognosis of her ever living to adulthood are slim. I know that God is our strength for this little soul that he lent us here on earth but our hearts are breaking into little tiny pieces. I cannot bear the pain of it myself as a mother. I want to take the pain away - away from this sweet little girl that I have. That we have!! The trip to Children's hospital seemed forever. Now we have the diagnosis and I wish we didn't :( please keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Love, Alanna

It is not always easy to make the right decisions when it comes to our children! We want to do the right thing all the time! I know that I need to turn to my Saviour and Lord every time I have a question or doubt or even a worry! Nicole is going through tests and more tests as her legs and feet do not move as easily as they should. She is needing to see a Neurologist this week. I know I am to trust in the Lord with all my heart! I just ache for my children when they are hurt. I react so strongly when I feel they might be hurt or sad! I want to take that ache or pain away! Trust in the Lord! Trust in the Lord.. I hear that whisper from God!! Thank you God!!

A Poem and thoughts about it by Samantha - giving a parents point of view
God sent me three packages
That needed special care
"Take care of these tiny gifts
For they are very rare."
"Watch over them with all your love
And let them feel your touch
Take care of their every need
For your are needed very much."
"These gifts will grow up very fast
As you soon will see
Love them with all your heart
And let them be what they will be."
"When these gifts have fully grown
Look at Heaven up above
Know they exist because of God
And all his precious love."
Sam's point of view: Parents see us grow up so fast. Spending time is always good!

I am in love with this man!! The love grows stronger and stronger with each passing year. I have been so lucky to have a sweet and caring man. He is quiet and confident. He is steadfast and hard working. He loves his family and would do anything for them. He exceeds all my hearts desires in a Best Friend!

It was a whole day field trip to the Blue Heron Reserve and Cultus Lake.
First Ry and his class went to The Blue Heron Reserve where he learned to paint by an instructor and they learned a little about the birds. They then planted some bushes around the water area at the reserve.
Ry and his class then went kayaking at Cultus Lake and they were taught by an instructor their as well. Riley did very well! It was fun to be apart of the field trip with such a sweet boy. I did have to pay him to get a picture though!! HA HA

Our Journey
An introduction into the lives of Wes (hubby, Dad), Alanna (wife, Mom) and children:
Samantha, Mitchel, Chris, Brooke, Riley, and Nicole.
How can one begin to tell of the journey that God has brought us to present? It is so amazing and totally God.
Boy meets girl at her high school grad. Set up by a friend and engaged six months later. They were smitten with one another!! They were then married eight months later. Alanna personally has to admit that her heart just pumps when her hubby walks in the room. A good thing for being married almost 16 years she thinks.J Girl from Surrey (yes, really)
Boy born in Vancouver but, um, still lived in Surrey for part of his life.
Along came Mitchel, two years later, Brooke, 16 months later Riley and last but not least Nicole. In this time they lived in Abbotsford. Alanna longed to live closer to the mountains but also loved her house and did not want to leave it. Wes wanting to free up some money to invest in a business and the couple wanting a lower mortgage looked into the Chilliwack and Agassiz area.
They picked out a heritage home in Agassiz and Alanna just loved it, the Cheam Mountain was right outside the back door. Someone came and over bid the couples’s first initial offer and they could never bid higher for some mysterious reason. They tried to buy 2 more houses in Agassiz but the attempts fell thru again. Very, very mysterious!!!
In the meantime there was a house that was a really, really ugly house in Chilliwack that was a steal - anyone could have taken it but they didn’t for some reason? Who knows? Mybe it could possibly be that it looked like it should have been torn down. Alanna was sad that she would have to move into this home and struggled with the possibility that she would have to endure living in it. Yes, it did happen that she lives in that house and still does but would not trade it for any house on the block.
God lead and all they had to do was follow. A favourite verse from the Bible that they had lived many times over was “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Sometimes the path is not always clear to us; however we are to trust in Him.
The mountains that surrounded the Drews family was incredible.. Kind of like the journey they were on. Life was full and busy with Alanna home schooling and Wes traveling to Ontario and renovating as time permitted.
In these times Alanna enjoyed her children and felt so blessed by them but felt that she was still missing some more children in her life. She did not want to feel unhappy because God had blessed her so richly and having children was a blessing that many could not have and want so dearly. She was trying so hard to be thankful and to surrender her heart to God. She was praying so hard for God to change her husbands’ heart for more children and God told her to surrender her heart to Him. It was very hard to have this prayer time when Alanna did not want to surrender this area to God. Her ache for more children was a true test of her spiritual journey that she will never forget.. For you see in previous years as a child Alanna prayed every day as long as she could remember for the desire of her heart – children. God had indeed blessed her and she knew that to surrender every area of her life including her desires was pleasing to God. She also did not want to drive her husband nuts and be very; very disobedient (she is always trying to be a very good girl)
On the North end of Williams street… lived a lady that bred boxers; the
Drews family loved Boxer dogs and had one. He sadly passed away. They
eventually got 2 boxers from her. In the meantime they got to know a boy in whom she fostered and was eventually asked to take him last summer for relief care while she had surgery. Chris would come by several times in that year and had a connection with Mitchel right away. The Drews fell deeply in love with Chris and wanted to adopt him. Chris had a sister who they met
in that summer too. Guess what? The family fell in love with her too.
Samantha spent a lot of time with Chris that summer and the Drews Gang. Alanna especially had to surrender once more to God because God could see the big picture and He knew the perfect will for the lives that were intertwined in this life story. Through many prayers and workings that were truly miracles Sam and then Chris came into the Drews’ home. Alanna was jumping up and down for joy!! Brooke had prayed for a big sister for a long time and Alanna was not too sure how to tell her that she couldn’t have a big sister just like that. Well God was way bigger than all our thoughts and he provided for a small girl her prayers. The family has grown so well together. It is not always a perfect family .. especially Alanna cause she sometimes makes mistakes- well lots but man does she love her kids. Wes says he is pretty perfect. J Honestly,Alanna thinks he is pretty cool cause he is such a cool dad and has a great sense of humour. (And what is life without who more.) He also is quiet and thoughtful and takes time to speak not saying anything carelessly or hurting.
Much needs to be said about the fact that in this year Wes had mentioned to Alanna that he really wanted to go to Broadway church for a few Sundays. They had not found a church to call their home since moving from Abbotsford 3 years ago. In this church they found love and friendship and a pastor who cries (which the couple find so refreshing.) They also found that Sam and Chris had connections from previous years. Women who had been praying for them and Pastors who had helped them go through the loss of their mother. Broadway has deepened the walk of the Drews Gang and supplied them with friendships that will last forever!!
To tell it in short would have gone like this… Family moves into house that God leads them too. Not the house that some of them wanted to be in. On the north end of Williams is a boy who needed a family. On the South end was a family who needed another boy. The boy has a sister. The sister needs a family. The family needs another daughter. The whole family loves one another and God has provided for all. Obedience, Surrender, Obedience, Surrender – choices we make every day when serving God who sees things better than we ever will. Sometimes the journey is not always easy. Sometimes we make many mistakes. God is so perfect for us in every aspect of our every day living. Sometimes not walking with him daily can cause weak links in parenting for Alanna. She will find she is off track and doing things in her own strength again. She is not giving everything to Her Lord. Surrender and Obedience has been a worthy practice for her.
God is Good!!! This Journey has been worth it!!

Nikki wants a sleepover. I just don't want to let her
go on on now. It is fine if it is my Dad and Moms house or Auntie Uli and Uncle Ray. I just feel that my kids are all growing up. I told her that mommy won't be there then. Nikki says" But there is another mommy there." What do you say to that. She is right. I feel like I give my children a lot of freedom in so many ways;
however it is hard for me to do sleepovers. Everyone can come here though. Just a reflection on my feelings as a mommy.

Once upon a time a mommy and her friends and 3 daughters went to Hope. This mommy loved animals and her daughters had this love too. Off they went in the big, big truck and picked out two sweet kittens. They all lived happily ever after.... :)
p.s. The friend of this mommy and her daughter picked out a kitty too.

I was thinking as I was folding the laundry for my family how special it is that I get to do that. I mean sometimes life is so busy the last thing I want to do is laundry. There is something peaceful about it though... It is for my children and my husband. Instead of complaining about it like I have in the past I look at it all folded and think how cozy it looks. This folding is for the precious bodies that have worn the clothes. If I didn't have my children I wouldn't have the laundry. I think that laundry is special now. A moment to reflect on life itself and what the clothes represent! To my hubby and my children.. mom loves folding your laundry.... can you come downstairs and get it please :)

"Campfire Therapy"
Today my hubby called to ask me to get ready to go to Green Point to have a wieny roast. We call that "Campfire Therapy" a time to unwind.. enjoy our family and have an all time favourite meal - a wieny roast. It was fun to see the kids catch the season's first frogs and have some good laughs. The kids even put their feet in the water. I am so glad my husband thinks of these things to inspire us for the week and to make memories!!!

April Fool's Day
Ok this is not something you see all the time on my hubby but he was such a good sport. Every April Fool's day we as a family get him in some way. This April fool's day was on a Sunday so we got our pastor involved with our surpise. All the girls knew and took great pride in keeping the secret. Brooke wrapped up a wig and a brush in a box. The pastor called Wes to the front and was asked what day it was. He opened up the box and put the wig on. For someone who shaves his head bald it was a great laugh. The congregation howled with laughter. of course we would never let him get away with not having April Fools.
