The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

Making Dinner for the Families at the Ronald McDonald House

On Sunday, April 9th our families made a taco/burrito dinner for the families that are staying at the Ronald McDonald House while their little ones are being cared for at Children's Mercy Hospital.  Here in Kansas City there are 3 houses for the families to stay at.  I will tell you from experience that it is a wonderful place to stay.  We decided to give back when we stayed at the Ronald McDonald house in Wisconsin for Jalinn's surgery.  They did so much for us and we thought we needed to give back. My family that helped out with this was my girls, Teresa, Hannah, Monica, Aunt Connie, Grandma, Mom and Dad.  I can't thank them all enough for helping out.  It was such a rewarding experience. We had so much fun too.  The girls loved it too!!!  The families keep saying thank you to us and I feel that we didn't do much but I do know that it means alot not to have to worry about feeding our family when you have a child going through such a difficult time.  I would ask everyone if you ever want to give back in your community please consider the Ronald McDonald House.  Also, please keep these families in your prayers they need all that we can give them. 

Here are a few pics:

    What a fantastic job! You all did such a great job. That food looks delicious and best of all it was made with love. The therapy dog looks awesome. We had an English Mastiff just like that dog for 10 years. His name was Bubba. He was beige in color with a black face. He was a gentle giant. Hope Jalinn is doing well. Hugs and Kisses to you!
