oh yay - the necklace my husband ordered from you just arrived so i will have to post a pic to the flickr pool:)
Well that’s one way to let Monday in - instead of just pulling the covers up :p
You’re right, it is impossible not to smile and that little guy with his daddy! I look forward to you your beautiful pictures every day and you never disappoint. Have a great day!
Thank you - David’s picture made me smile today too. He is so adorable and happy. I am glad you are able to smile and be there for him. I love to see my kids smile - the special one and the one that broke his arm friday and will have a lump on the leg removed next week to rule out sarcoma. But , the sun is shining and the kids are smiling! Life is good.
Lisa- read your post over there and it is SO beautifully written. You could switch out your name with mine and David’s with Jonathan and it would work just the same. I did have a job working with special needs kids (was a teacher’s aide for 2 boys with Down Syndrome) right after Josh and I got married. It was the hardest job. I quit because I couldn’t keep up. And then God placed my J in my life and gave me a second chance to learn some valuable lessons on unconditional love (meaning his example of unconditional love makes me cry just thinking about it) and flexibility (still working on that one- long way to go!).
Thank you, thank you!!! Happy Monday.
I was having a moment last night, feeling sorry for myself. The plan was 4, not 6. The plan was for healthy children - #5 Olivia who had NEC at nine days old, lost 2/3 of her small intestine, 1/3 large, ICV and was not to live more than a year. I planned on grieving for her, but God had other plans. She is now a healthy 4 year twin and loves life, God, her family and JK! Then after all that, I got pregnant with #6, after having my tubes tied. Yup I planned on no more, but low and behold I was pregnant with Anna. She was born healthy and beautiful, but at five months old she had a weakness with her neck and couldn’t hold her head up. Why Lord? Then she seemed to outgrow that and at eight months old she started having seizures. OK what now? Then did 3 lumbar procedures, all of them had red blood cells, so they were not sure if it was encephalitis. Today Anna is 2 1/2 and is very behind in her development. Is this the life I planned? Definitely not, but do I have the sweetest most loving little girl. Definitely YES! Thank you for reminding me that my heart is healing with this precious child that was given to me as a gift! Lisa you are my inspiration!!!!!!
You’re right, you can not not smile:)
Slightly off subject . . . can I just say how much I LOVE David’s hair? He has the best boy cut ever! Thank you for sharing your morning with us.
I think all of us who enjoy your site can certainly hop over to the CdLS foundation link and kick in “a few dollars!”
Hi — love the post about Change of Plans — its a good reminder to be flexible and that our plans are not necessarily HIS plans!
You are wonderful - thank you for sharing your heart Lisa!
