Christmas time is here!
The Season is among us! I am so excited about starting traditions with my family. As long as I can remember I have dreamed about having a family and how Christmas would be with my children. Of course Carter is still to small to realize what is going on, he is just interested in grabbing the ornaments off the tree!
Today we went to the Family Support Network's Christmas party. It was held at Gateway Education Center. (Family Support Network helps children with disabilities and premature babies catch up where they need to be). All I can say, it was so very humbling being there today. There were so many families who have children with Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc...To an outsider, one may think awww how sad...but as an insider let me tell you...Everyone there was so happy...there were so many holiday crafts for all the children, food and SANTA! It really puts things in perspective when your busy running around buying gifts that will be forgotten about next year. It makes you stop and say, this is what Christmas is all about, family and friends, and these amazing children God ever so lovingly put into our lives!

what a special family you are, and a beautiful family too! Your little angel is such a cutie pie and what a blessing to have you as a family! I have a 9 year old son who is bipolar--not the same challenges as you have, but challenges all the same and I pray for happiness for you all, as I hope people do for me. Happy Holidays to you all!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much...Thank you for your sweet words and for stopping by and reading! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHi! I am working on my senior project on children with disabilities. I was just doing some research and I happened to find your blog! It's so touching! I saw that you visisted Gateway Education Center too. I did some volunteering there, and I absolutely loved it. It really just touched my heart.
ReplyDeleteEli is just the cutest thing. And it's just amazing to see a family like yours with so much love. It's truly a blessing. Have a wonderful and happy Christmas!
