Welcome to The Frey Life daily vlogs! We are Peter & Mary, a married couple in our mid 30's, showing the ups and downs of everyday life with #CysticFibrosis, a genetic lung disease that Mary was born with. In August 2019, Mary started a new CF medication that changed the trajectory of our future, and life has changed dramatically - including our son, Elijah, joining our family in December 2021. We also have an adorable standard poodle, Oliver, and a hairless sphynx cat, Harry. It's our hope that these videos can be an encouragement to to celebrate the little things in life and find joy amidst a world full of hard realities!

We LOVE KiwiCo!! My boys are teens and they have just stopped getting boxes. I am getting the maker create and they have been fun exploring new ways to get creative. We really recommend KiwiCo for all ages. My parents would gift them a year long subscription instead of birthday and Christmas gifts. The boys absolutely looked forward to a new box every month. So nice to see you are all well!!

Marry I’m so glad you can live your life with your baby not coughing

Off topic, i was trying to go through old vlogs to see if mary recommended her favorite watercolor set.

So happy to see you again! As a fellow chronic illness sufferer, not seeing you regularly, on a purely selfish level, is disheartening, but to know you’re doing well, truly makes me very happy! Can’t think of people that deserve it more! I send love and good wishes!💜💜💜

[@sarahgreen2295]

I feel the same way! ❤ you guys!

[@WREATHSfloralsDIYS]

My heart is so happy for you 4!!!

Gosh Elijah has grown so much!! Look at him go. So good to see you all again

[@lisatowan4536]

Elijah is growing so fast. It's so fun to see him talking so much. He's definitely in his NO phase. 😄 Adorable! Glad you are all doing well.

[@Lyn4817]

Merry Christmas everyone. So delightful seeing Elijah, it's been so long. He looks like he's practicing for his terrible two's period, already. No, no, no, no, no. So wonderful. I hope your Foster Son is thriving under your loving are. It's such a miracle watching Mary and Peter with two little boys. Who would have guessed this would happen from Trikafta being such a marvellous, miraculous medication. Happy New Year everyone.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Elijah is adorable! Those chubby cheeks are just begging for a great big smooch!! What a precious little guy. I hope we get to see your foster baby one day when you adopt him! God is truly blessed all of you! Sweet!

[@sonia15702]

Anyone else feeling super sad Ollie isn't with us ? I hope the Frey's have him at home in the sun somewhere like my first dog. The vet did paw prints for me and took a lock of hair. She's next to a photo of my Nana so I can always feel her with me. Merry Christmas Frey's. Sonia Sydney Australia

[@maricormier121]

I was a foster/adopt mom to a 5 year old girl, whom I adopted when she was 7. I'm thrilled you are fostering uour wee one. You are giving him stability which sadly is often missing in these childrens lives. You are setting an example for people to look at offering stability for these babies and kids, something that most of them have never had in life. You guys are AMAZING. Spread the word to people about becoming foster and or foster/adopt 11:54 parents (I was a single mom) and/or adoptive parents. The world needs them. Bless you!

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

I love seeing Christmas through a toddlers eyes Elijah is so precious

[@ivark56ofPA]

especially his reaction to those Christmas and early birthday presents That came .. And today the house looks empty now since Oliver died in October from cancer. I guess too early to tell on whether they are going to get another dog or not maybe in 24 as of right now I don't think there is any plans right now. However they still have harry the kitty despite he too is also at same age as the late Oliver was around 10 years. And at least you had good weather despite a few days ago I think you had TORNADO STORMS recently in your community!! From news reports..

[@Peas286]

It was so nice to see all your happy faces! And in return, you put a smile on my face too❤

[@ruthmeyer5415]

Elijah about to bust out some soup like Mama makes! I think that was the quest for water. He needs a little "I don't cook with a recipe, I cook with my heart" apron! What a fun family day for all of you. :D

[@haileyhudson4157]

He does!! 😂

[@niknak5619]

Eli is speaking so much! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to see you posted a video! I know you are fostering and was just curious how you all are adjusting to 2 cutie?

[@cherylemaybury9967]

Elijah has grown and changed so much. He has a happy disposition and seems to enjoy being silly and making people around him laugh. He’s a busy little guy and loves to play pretend. It’s so lovely to see you all again. 😊

[@ivark56ofPA]

he has come long ways as a 2 year old and starting to communicate.. Despite your still using signs for a little bit..

[@JulieR73]

I’m still blown away by Mary since she started Trikafta! Unbelievable! It’s like she’s a whole new person! I remember when she said they would never have children and just look at them now! I’m thinking you need to buy stock in the company that makes the medicine! What a blessing!

[@ginnyflury7222]

I’ve missed hearing your voice. Both Mary and Peter. You both are special people. Your loving relationship to each other is remarkable. Not easily found.

[@carolyngarrison10]

So great to see your video pop up. Elijah’s reaction to all things parade, music, and Christmas is priceless. Hope foster baby is doing well, and if it’s God’s will, becomes part of The Frey Life☺️

[@carolyngarrison10]

Sure miss Ollie though 😢

[@ivark56ofPA]

Unfortunately Oliver passed away.. Im so sorry for the LOSS!!

[@kristianwillson6185]
