Blessings Are All Around Us!

Today I came across a solution to a nagging problem.  Kate is still in her crib because she is so small. She is growing and will be ready for a "big girl bed".  Sometimes she wakes in the night, as if she took a nap!  Wide awake and ready for her day!  Only it is 3:00 a.m. and we are certainly not ready.    She is safe in her crib and does not climb out.  Now that we need to get her a big girl bed, I have been secretly panicking.  Coming across this website was a Blessing!  The company is not too far away and there is a payment plan.  This safety bed can also travel on vacation!

I love new technology.  It took another Special Needs Mom to invent this!  Leave it to a mom that has determination to keep her child safe!

Easter was yesterday and we had 15 for dinner.  Dinner was so good and I was only ten minutes late getting it on the table.  It's a new record!  We celebrated Angel coming into the Church and also her birthday.  Angel's family came over and we all had a great time.  My brother brought his friend Nicole, who couldn't be lovelier!  Kate did great!!!

I wanted to sleep in, but the girls worked so hard with me yesterday, I couldn't wake them.  So with Kate awake it was a cuddling, donut morning.  Will Kate want to sleep in when she is a teenager?  Will I ever sleep past 8:00 a.m. again!???

So the blessings are a new bed for Kate.  A new beginning for Angel.  I new beginning for my brother and all the people who love us sharing in all the beauty of our little home.

Don't Judge a Special Needs Family

Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever tried to do the right thing and have a whole bunch of wicked come hurling at you? What did you do? Did you start to endlessly explain your motives so it could be twisted by the few people that dislike you? Or did you stay silent? Staying silent is not my strong point, thus the blog.;) When I became pregnant with Looly (Kate), I noticed some big changes within myself. I had to fight to keep her alive because of a difficult pregnancy. Then at the end of my pregnancy I had to fight to keep us both alive. Then we were told Looly had Down Syndrome. At that time, we were grateful to God that she was alive and later we were thanking God that her heart was healthy and there was no neurological damage. She just has Down Syndrome. Just Down Syndrome. Say those words...just Down Syndrome. That is what I do, I simplify difficult things, then reflect and think I'm crazy. I was connected to this child at conception. I begged God to let me car...

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Happy New Year! Life is Good!

Praising God for all His blessings in our lives this past year and asking Him for His graces in 2018! This past year was busy and very telling.  Kate getting into her special school and thriving!  We can't wait to see what 2018 brings.  This school is better than we imagined and we are so grateful for every single person at this school. This New Year is the year for true forgiveness.  To forgive.  Forgiveness is not a feeling, it’s an action.  I find myself drawn to love and forgiveness more this New Year than ever.  To be free of condemnation.  To support BJ in our new business endeavors!  We have such high hopes and the future is bright with promise.  God has this!  He always has this! So Happy New Year everyone and may God keep and bless you in 2018 and always!
