She came into this world today surrounded by love. Can you tell?
But back to the somersault:
No worries. I caught her ;-). Oi.
Here are the page spreads from their family album:
I was humbled tonight. I haven’t been in her shoes. I never want to be. I never want her to be there again. I choked back the emotion several times tonight because looking at him…just looking at him…(drats, there I go again)–well, all I can say is that we were all crying very different tears just a few months ago.
[That would be Marti, his OT, with him on the swings and in the b/w hug pic. You can read all about what she has done for him here.]
Lyndsay, this is your boy. This is how he is right now. He is a walking miracle and he is loved by more people from all over than I think he will ever fully comprehend.
I love them so much, I just had to make one using the pictures from our Hawaii trip. Of course, I also had to include our rockin’ shots taken by my friend, Marina, too! Wanna see all the page layouts?
Clients (past and present): contact me for information on a limited-time special upgrade option so you can get one of these beauties from your own session images (even if you’ve already purchased an album from me).
[P.S. Yes. If you look carefully, I am drinking a beer in the window of our hotel room overlooking Waikiki. Don’t be jealous.]
Now kindly go away, summer ;-). I’m ready for fall now.
It was also really cool to scope out the other homeschooling families in our area. I don’t know what I was expecting, but everyone was just so…so…normal. The kids were happy and smiling and well-adjusted and the parents were patient and encouraging and relaxed. What a joy to see all of those families embracing the homeschooling spirit! I had no idea how many there are out there, but this small sampling was quite a decent sized group.
I also had no idea that there is homeschooling “branding.” A few shirts today cracked me up. Made me feel like we needed to be one of the “cool kids,” too.
I look forward to hopefully doing this again next year. And wow, I just learned about Disney Homeschool Days as well! We’re going to be busy. Do you all know of any other events like this we should check out?
(Note, I realize I’ve been seriously remiss in updating our homeschool blog. Ugh. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to keep up with yet another blog. I have been sharing some things via the Creative Mama blog, but perhaps I can try to do some homeschool updates on here every now and then. Perhaps. No promises 😉
