The Beauty of God's Creation

This is our 3rd fall season here in Virginia and I just love all the color changes Fall brings. These are trees from our yard.

How Great is our God?

A Conversation with Gabriel

Tonight we went to pick up Destinee and Spencer's friends and then drop them off at youth group. Gabriel turns to Spencer's friend and says...

"Shake my hand..My name is Gabriel...You can call me Gabriel."

Hahahahahaha

A day off with my Husband

Today I enjoyed a great day with John. It has been a really long time since we have had an entire day to ourselves. MUCH NEEDED!! We hung out, had lunch together, had great conversations. It was lots of fun and looking forward to the next day we get to just hang out!

Hahahahaha...

OK, so it so hard to get a good picture because one of us is always messing around...

very rare we are both serious at the same time!

Thank you God for blessing us with this day today!

Outlook of a mother of an autistic child

Written by Mary Kangas

I am the mother of an autistic child.

It is not easy from day to day.

I know that with hard work,

my son and I are going to be okay.

He goes to school and therapy

. He works as hard as he can.

He fights this thing we call autism.

We are proud of our little man.

We are turning a negative into a positive.

Everyday that is what we do.

Our glass if half full instead of empty.

And it can be that way for you too.

So don't give up. Don't fall apart.

We'll all make it though with

determination and heart.

Our kids are special, and that's a fact.

We can fight autism, and get what it takes back.

Ms. Carol sent home a CD of pictures with Gabriel today. I love when she does that. I love to watch the interaction she has with all the kids! Also I am always amazed at how well Gabriel does in class. When I visit I think he gets a bit confused and I don't see the real him at school ;)

If I have not said this before...I will say it now.......

I LOVE MRS. CAROL and his school!!!!

I love the picture she took of Gabriel as a cowboy..so cute...
