Thought of the Day!

You know something that I love? That my children help to remind me each and everyday that I'm never too old to learn something or be reminded of something. Our kids have a wonderful way of really making me open my eyes, heart, and mind and really reflect on life. Sometimes we (generalizing here) get so wrapped up in everyday life--laundry, getting kids to/from activities, work, etc.--that we close our minds and just go through the motions to get things done.

I love that my kids help to remind me quite often--without them really knowing they are--to stop and think and reflect to what truly matters in life. Reagan's been going through a difficult time recently, but her strength and resolve to just continue pushing through is inspiring. I am so blessed to have such wonderful reminders.

Today's Thought

I came across the below on another blog--Hope for Elijah--and it just really hit home to me. As an aside, Elijah just had open heart surgery yesterday and he seems to be doing well so far--keep up the good work buddy, you have so many people thinking and praying for you!!!

The Down Syndrome Creed

My face may be different, but my feelings the same. I laugh and I cry and take pride in my gains.I was sent here among you to teach and to love as God in the heavens looks down from above. To Him I'm no different, His love knows no bounds;It's those here among you, in cities and towns that judge me by standards that man has imparted, but this family I've chosen will help me get started. For I'm one of the children, so special so few, that came here to learn the same lessons as you. That love is acceptance, it must come from the heart; we all have the same purpose, though not the same start. The Lord gave me life to live and embrace, and I'll do it as you do, but at my own pace. -Unknown

Thought of the day

I came across this quote in an article I was reading this morning & it really made me think:

'The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on large measure upon how our children grow up today.'

Such a big girl

So Camden is a whopping 5-months old now--wow how time flies. And for grins, Jenny & I wanted to see how she would take a spoon..we were very pleasantly surprised at her first attempt. She really didn't fight the spoon in her mouth--hopefully that continues as we start introducing rice cereal this weekend.

So, not completely Wordless Wednesday

So I just downloaded an app for my phone & wanted to see if I can successfully create mobile updates. This may help me to be a bit better (more convenient) with my updates.
