Some sweet friends of ours are battling cancer right now. It is amazing how the couple who is struggling actually turns out to be the couple who is blessing everyone! One of the blessings that I have received is in reading their blog. I continue to be blessed by their strength and reliance on the Lord. But, the biggest blessing that I have ...
Day to Day
Praise God for Little Steps
When Bubs was in the NICU, the nurses told us "two steps forward, one step back." I can't tell you how true that was. He would be doing better which lead to us getting our hopes up and then something would happen. I have reminded myself of this concept throughout our experience with Bubs' sensory issues. We have good days and then those days when I ...
Can You Hear Me Now?
We have had a full moon come and go without too much fanfare. I wonder if it will still hit or truly pass by. That is not to say that everything is smooth sailing but we haven't had the huge melt downs for several days in a row. Right now Bubs is struggling to keep his volume in check.

See, if the learning difficulties are visual then they can be fix with glasses. Seemed like an easy fix to me. But if the problem is not visual, then we have other ...
Job Praise
I gave Bubs the same job today. He was told after we went outside with me, he would have to do this job. At first he dodged the job, giving excuses. I ended up having to send him to another room. I am very excited to say that about ten minutes afterward, he came back with the job completed. There were a few things that needed redone but over all ...
Turn Down the Volume, Please
We have had CRAZY weather here the past couple of days. What I find interesting about it is that Bubs' volume level has been so high. Everything he says or sings is just at the next level. My tension level has been so high today because of the noise level. I truly believe he doesn't realize that he is that loud. He looks at me with those adorable ...
