Welcome to my blog! My name is Liz ~ first and foremost I am a child of the living God, saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I am also the wife of an amazing man named Donny. I'm a stay-at-home mom to five little miracles named Logan, Hudson, Madison, Candice and Samantha. Motherhood has always been a part of my vision for the future. Little did I know what God had in store – carrying quintuplets, bringing four babies into the world at once, and raising five. Here is a place we share our challenges, truimphs, joys and sorrows. Meet my family,The Dixon 7.
Madison, Samantha, Candice, Hudson and Logan
"Being a mother has taught me more about the grace of God and my own shortcomings than any other experience in my life. I see God’s grace every morning as they wake up healthy and strong, as they laugh and giggle, as they run and play, as their minds develop right before my eyes. My biggest lesson learned is to cherish every moment with your children -they grow too fast. God never gives you more than you can handle…and I am going to do all that I can for my little ones -especially when they face challenges."
"True, some of the lessons they’ve taught me were not very fun as they were happening, but the good moments mix up with the not-so-good moments in a wonderful curriculum ordained for me by God Himself. And since the lessons my children teach me were lovingly designed for me by my Father in Heaven, I will choose to embrace each moment and study these lessons that I may one day hear from the Teacher, “Well done, good and faithful Mommy.”" -Liz Dixon
"I honestly can say that being a mother is the most powerful and important feeling in the world. How lucky I am to be blessed with this opportunity to raise five children of God. I feel so deeply in love with each of my beautiful children. I crave their smiles, their smell, their hugs and kisses. They are my every reason for being. They are part of me, and of my husband, and yet each one is their own little person; a person that God created and I carried. They were a part of my body and then our physical bond was separated but that intimate and emotional bond will always be there. A bond between a mother and her children is so complicated and yet so simple at the same time. I love the calling I have been given in life. I love being Mommy to Logan, Hudson, Madison, Candice and Samantha."- Liz Dixon
"So much is involved in raising five children. We have already experienced so much in just over the last three years. I can’t believe it’s only been three years. In some ways I feel like half a lifetime has gone by. Through it all, many things have been uncertain, but one thing has stayed the same. Our Heavenly Father, Christ Jesus, has been watching over our family, keeping us safe and guiding us each day. We want our children to have hearts full of love and a strong faith in God. We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of training their hearts!"- Liz Dixon
"God gave me strength when I couldn’t go on, life when my body was trying to shut down, encouragement to my broken heart, meals when the refrigerator was empty, a place to live when ends did not meet, peace in the midst of turmoil, and a contentment that went beyond my circumstances. Sure life gets hard now and then. My heart may still become anxious and my mind may begin to assume the worse, but today I know that contentment comes from within. I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances because God is faithful to me. I am so very blessed." – Liz Dixon
"This is the place I come to share my stories, thoughts, prayers, battles, struggles, and victories as a Christian mom. I’m not saying that I’m a perfect mom, just an honest mom in need of God’s grace everyday as I try to live out the calling that he has given me as a mother."- Liz Dixon
"Thanks to the help and prayers of everyone, inside and outside the hospital, and all over the world we once again have triumphed over this trial. God is good! For each and every one of you…we are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!"- Liz Dixon
"My children have taught me the sweetness of cuddles, hugs, kisses, and hearing a little voice say, “I wanna play with my Mommy,” as Logan climbs into my lap. My children have taught me the joys of dancing in the living room, running through the sprinkler, and taking puddle walks barefoot after it rains. My children have taught me to find pleasure in simple things like stickers, lollipops, and balloons. It is entirely possible to “read” your kid’s favorite book to them in the car while driving. They will correct you if you “skip a page”. Popsicles and fruit snacks cure just about all ailments. Mommy makes an awesome superman machine and an equally awesome airplane. Thanks to the Little Einsteins the Eiffel tower is where Logan’s ticket for the musical pet train is found. Walls make especially good canvases for crayon and permanent markers. So do doors and walls. Fortunately, Mr. Clean makes the magic eraser which cleans things up in a snap. My children are teaching me how fleeting life is as each year goes by in a blink already and I know time will move faster the older they get. Being a mother has taught me more about the grace of God and my own shortcomings than any other experience in my life. I see God’s grace every morning as they wake up healthy and strong, as they laugh and giggle, as they run and play, as their minds develop right before my eyes. My biggest lesson learned is to cherish every moment with your children -they grow too fast. God never gives you more than you can handle…and I am going to do all that I can for my little ones -especially when they face challenges. True, some of the lessons they’ve taught me were not very fun as they were happening, but the good moments mix up with the not-so-good moments in a wonderful curriculum ordained for me by God Himself. And since the lessons my children teach me were lovingly designed for me by my Father in Heaven, I will choose to embrace each moment and study these lessons that I may one day hear from the Teacher, “Well done, good and faithful Mommy.”"-Liz Dixon
Last night Daddy stayed up late with Logan and they had some fun times together. They went out for ice-cream and played with toys in Walmart. Anything to keep Logan awake. They had lots of fun from what I hear. He could only have four hours of total sleep last night before going to the sleep clinic. This morning at, I got Logan up. I had to carry him all the way downstairs cause he did not want to get up, after-all, he felt as if he had just gone to bed. 
Logan was such a great sport about it all. He did cry some alligator tears silently though. You can see one in the picture above. While they were putting all the electrodes on his head, he got to watch Spongebob. Then the best part, he finally got to go to sleep. Afterwards, we played on the indoor playground. I think that was his favorite part. I took some pictures of him this morning, but I’m unable to download pictures tonight. I’ll see about posting them tomorrow.
I’m so thankful that you’re actually getting answers - and especially that they appear to be easily treatable answers. We continue to pray for your family.
Oh, no!
I have been away for a few weeks, and had to catch up. So sorry to hear about Logan. I’m glad the doctors think it is easily controllable.
Hugs to all!
We’ll keep praying for Logan and you all as you all get all this clarified and treated. We are thankful for the way this was detected so it could be checked out sooner rather than later and pray the Lord’s leading of the doctors and all.
Love & prayers.
Thanks guys! It feels so wonderful to know so many people are praying for our sweet Logan.
