Mother's Day Blessings

I am so very very blessed.  My family took such time and effort to make this Mother's Day special.  It wasn't just Mother's Day, it was the whole weekend of love.  Not only my family, but Kate's school!  

 Today being Monday and back to reality, made me reflect on all my blessings.  I felt energized today. On Friday, Kate's school had a Mother's Day brunch.  It was beautiful!  Food and coffee made by the students.  We got to see the Music Room and we were very much entertained by some really wonderful students.  Then we got to shop in the little store where Kate helps bag the goodies.  The deep appreciation of what this school has brought us is not measurable by just words.  We have come to love the teachers and therapists as family.  Michelle that runs the school is one of the kindest souls in this school, I could say this about all that help Kate.  Pure kindness.  

 On Saturday, Kate had a special day.  It is called a Respite Day.  This is when teachers volunteer to do a one on one play day with a student.  We were privileged to have Miss Caitlin, Kate's teacher, to have Kate all day Saturday.  This gives families a break to do things with the other kids in the family or just a well needed break.  BJ and I took Ireland and Trinity to a flea market and then lunch.  We also got to visit with my sister Josie and my wonderful brother-in-law Sean, along with my niece Lily.  It was a fullday of happiness!  We picked Kate up at 4:00 and spent the evening with her.  Sunday I took my Mom to early Mass and then spent the day with the family.  The gifts were so so wonderful!  A Joanna Gaines cookbook and cooking utensils, perfect!!!  Also a new smart tv for our bedroom.  Dinner was Red Lobster take-out!  My mom joined us and we had a wonderful visit!  I'm thanking God for still being able to celebrate Mother's Day with my Mom.

 After I was spoiled beyond belief, I picked up Kate from school today, with one more surprise.  A gift bag with the most beautiful smelling bath scrub.  The best was the card Kate made me.  It wasn't the gifts, it was the love that everyone showed me.  My son Beau and my daughter-in-love Angel came later with flowers and a very beautiful touching card.  

 Thank you God for blessing me with all my children.  I love each and everyone of them.  Each child is a huge gift and peace within our clan is even a bigger gift.  God is good, always.  Always, God is good.🙏🏽💖

Thank You!

BJ and I woke up this morning to Kate!  She was "talking" in her room.  I love the little snippets.  She likes to say "bad girl" and then laugh!  Then started calling me, Mum Mum Mum.  Cracks us up.  We love going in her room to get her.  So full of joy.  Always ready for a new day!  This Saturday morning she brought her blocks to BJ to play.  This is our life.  Our children.  We would do anything for them.  All our children are gifts from God.  We never know how the road we travel will turn out.  We do the best we can to share God and love.  The most important part of life is kindness.  We teach kindness and forgiveness.  Our children practice this daily.  We are hoping they don't have the obstacles we have been dealt, but we all know they will have others. My husband BJ is my best friend.  Everything we stand for or against, we stand together.  BJ is a fantastic husband and a s...

Looly Goes to School

Looly started school!  She is going to a Special Needs Preschool to get speech therapy, occupational  therapy and physical therapy.  She was leary after the first day but once she saw her ole favorite Physical Therapist, Matt, the game was on! Matt is a young man that is married with two daughters.  He loves Kate.  He calls her turkey and she squeals with happiness.  When we first saw him after a year break, she actually kissed his cheek.  Matt has all of Kate's respect.  Matt challenges and pushes her to do better.  Sometimes there is even tears, but she will work hard for him.  By the next week he will see improvement.  It makes us all laugh at her stubborn determination to "show Matt!" This past week we were made aware through the speech therapist that they rang a bell directly behind Looly and she didn't flinch or turn to look.  So we made an appointment with a hearing specialist.  I do not believe she is 100% deaf...

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...
