Here is a brief introduction of me and my family for those who don't know. My name is Erica. I married my best friend Jeff 7 and a half years ago after dating for about 3 and a half years. Jeff is the most happy-go-lucky person you will ever meet! We have 3+1 children as we like to say. Madalyn is our oldest at 6 years old. She will be going into first grade, and the diva of the family. Xander, our middle child, is 4. He has more energy than any human can handle! Silas is our youngest. He is 2 years old, and was born with kidney disease due to posterior urethral valves. I could write pages and pages about our Super Si Guy, but I will leave that for another day! We also have a little one in heaven we lost when I was 8 weeks pregnant almost 4 years ago. Again, another post for another day!
I guess I should also explain my blogs name. Our last name is Canfield. The Canfield family has a saying, "We're not can'tfields! We are CANfields!" It's mainly used when the kids say they can't do something, but I think it is a great motto to live by. Kind of like a spin on Philippians 4:13, "I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (NKJV)
I'm sure I'll end up mainly writing about Silas and his battle with kidney disease. I hope to be an encouragement to those of you who are walking a similar path to us. You can get to know us more by following me on instagram.
