What to Write...What to Write...What to Write....

-
Help a girl out.  I want to write, I feel compelled to write.  But, silly thoughts like "I don't know what to write, to say pester me." I'm not an authority on any area but I love to learn.  I adore my family and if I'm honest we do life pretty well about 85% of the time and the rest we're a hot mess and never are we a Instagram/Pinterest, picture-perfect, spiffy crew.  I enjoy people even when it's busy and full and as long as we all practice kindness that's a really good place to start.  I'm learning to speak special needs as well a typical needs.  I have tremendous respect for early risers.  I'm not certain if I'm creative but I aspire to be so.  Coffee is one of my love languages, pineapples, quality time and gifts are others.  I don't love making decisions but I'm pretty willing to make them when I have to - or I can roll with it. Reading makes me happy but I can also settle in for a good sitcom or movie, but a conversation or an activity will usually win my vote.  Sports and I are friendly - but certainly not frequently in contact - think acquaintances not BFF's.  The kitchen and I can be good friends or horrible adversaries - all depends on the day.  Laundry is a villain in my life story but I'm trying to be thankful for the gift of clothes.  Thankfulness and gratitude are practices that I try to incorporate daily into my life.  Decorating our home is fun - until I change my mind and then it all needs to change.  The opinion of others matters and it's a process to appropriately consider opinion.  I like people to be happy - harmony is valuable! Fun is delicious and a great conversation is precious.  Those are just a few insights into me...but I still don't know what to write....Any suggestions? Folks who know me...or don't know me LOL...give me topics! Thanks in advance! :)

Unexpected

-
On Sunday we decided to make a trip over to Hershey Park and cool off at the water park.  Jer and Anna headed straight to the Reese's Cup ride to give that a whirl - proud to say our girl rocked the second highest score out of the four riders in the car (and no Jamesey and I weren't the other two in the car).  Little man and I headed on over to the Boardwalk to cool off and wait for them.  While we were there I was watching the crowd and had an unexpected encounter.  I noticed a girl who was sitting nearby and I was pretty sure that she had a cochlear implant.  Jamesey was asleep in the carrier   and so we ventured over to introduce ourselves.  We got to meet her mom and dad and learned that she was implanted at age 2.  She spoke so articulately - and is actually headed out to college in the fall and will be playing lacrosse! It was a wonderful encounter. The last couple of days have been such a mix of emotion as we face August 8 and Little Man'...

-
Well 2014 was a year for sure.  Let's see - where to start: new job for Jer diagnosis of kleefstra and cochlear implant surgery for Jamesey 1 hospitalization and 1 near miss for Jamesey 1 discovery of Disney Kids channel for Anna Monkey (specifically Doc McStuffins, Jake and the Neverland pirates) 1 new love of  rollercoasters for Anna Monkey (she adored trailblazer at Hershey Park) we found out that another little baby to love is on the way - due May 26 new position for me at work Just a few things that are going on.  But 2015 is a new year, full of promise.  We're excited for Jamesey to really begin talking.  Christmas break heard the first really consistent mamamamama's from little man as well as a few dadada's.  His speech and hearing teachers are so encouraged and are so hopeful for him.  We feel blessed to have them in our lives for all the time that they invest in him and in us.  2015 will see renewed efforts with sign language (w...

It's Crazy...

It's crazy to think that we're looking at Week 39 and still waiting for David to arrive.  Recently I've noticed we've been so consumed with how James is proceeding that there hasn't been time to breathe - but now as David's arrival nears it's really hard not to ask a few "what if" questions.  There's a part of me that will hold my breath when David has his newborn hearing screen and as we wait for the results.  Then there is a part of me that says whatever the outcome we'll be okay.  I've shared with a few of you the perspective that Jamesey really is one in a million genetically and I keep repeating that to myself as a bit of a mantra on the occasions that I start to feel panicky - but our little man is wonderful and he reminds us of that frequently. A few notes about he and Anna since I shared about their brother :) Jamesey - he's responding to sounds and mimicking a few of them like the rooster, pig, fire truck...and I think ...
