Falling for fall

Fall Love

Fall love

Thank God for fall! Each year I fall deeper in love with this season. It’s our favorite time of year &
We’ve been pretty busy saying a lot of hello to not only butter but also pecans, cheese, physical therapy, home school & football games. Claire has been doing so well that we have a busy life back.
She’s been able to go back to physical therapy once a week and she is getting stronger & stronger at standing. And while she is doing so well I still don’t feel she can handle preschool at this time. Instead, we have a teacher come to the house once a week. Plus, she has been enjoying watching her big brother play under the Friday night lights so I feel this satisfies her social life. And I do mean social. This is one area of her life that I have no worries. She loves to see everyone at the football games and works the crowd like no other four year old I’ve seen. She is full of smiles and personality and is the best cheerleader for her Michael. Go Michael Go! We are even able to pack her pecans, cheese and butter to go for the football game. Not your typical tailgate food, but she loves it!
Now since summer has ended I feel it is safe to announce the official news that the summer of 2011 has seizure free! This is the first summer since 2008 that Claire has not required to be life flighted. With all my heart I praise God for the miracles on our life!
So, although I am a few weeks late in saying this…goodbye Summer…hellobutter!

In God We Trust

July 4, 2011

Holidays around our house make me nervous. It seems Claire usually doesn’t have the best days at holiday time. Mainly because these days are surrounded by activity and far from routine. She gets extra tired, extra hot and extra close to seizure activity. So, today is no different. We walk on eggshells and hover over Claire to spy the slightest change in her behavior.

But then I decide to trust.
Trust God and lean completely on Him. Independence day reminds me how dependent I am on God. I have a peace of mind knowing He is in control of our days. Even holidays. This helps me enjoy the celebration and see the joy in every moment life offers.

 
To live a full rich life I have to say,
Goodbye nervous holidays…Hello Butter
