What are you waiting for??

Welcome back to my other blog!!
Let's recap..
since February..
:/
The boys have been doing some blooming!
Lots!!
This was a great summer!Many of you have been staying caught up with our little world through the Joy-full-ness blog...
but there is something BIG I have been keeping..

look how much fun this picture is...
we've seen this scene before...
the line up..
everything from only cars..to only animals...only elephants...and here Little people..



but there is a difference..



These people are going somewhere..(to Pug-lix, ofcourse!)
they are busy..
they have a purpose!!

They are still waiting...but they are going places!!


This summer an anthem has rung in my head often..
"What are you waiting for??"
Mostly from the song by Britt Nicole ...
here are some of the words...
What are you waiting for..
What do you have to lose??
Your INSECURITIES
try to hold to you..
You know you're made for more..
so don't be afraid to move..
Your faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water too!!

(I read the book So Long Insecurity also, you know...)
It's been a Summer of GROWTH!!
and much CHANGE!!


Our family received Mauldin!
He is our DOG FOR AUTISM.
our extra set of eyes and ears.
He will give us opportunities for more independence.
sigh.
He is marvelous.
We needed him.
He needed us too!
We are still in training.
We are learning.

The circumstances are truly breathtaking.
I apologize for not being able to reveal everything
about how this came to be..
I know it was from the LORD!


This was within the first couple days..
we gave our couch away,
we needed more room for our new family member.
The boys are loving him.
I've been surprised at how well they have welcomed him into their lives.


Lee has been trying to get Sam to play with
some of his toys more appropriately.
Here he is playing with his favorite gator toy..



making a path for him to travel on..

we are thrilled for this new engagement!!

Just hanging out together on a Saturday..



Mauldin
Loves him a nice handmade quilt!
Clearly we were meant to be!


he has even gotten used to all the picture taking!!
I think he is smiling here!!


(just some exploring)



This was such a sweet sign for me.
Mauldin came in from exploring his new back yard and i discovered this little heart shaped leaf..
on his bum!
you know me and heart shaped leaves..
This is just the beginning of so many adventures.
We feel so loved upon.
I want to encourage you to help someone else in their journey too.
They are asking for $50,000 to cover the cost of raising, training and placing 2 dogs with other
families.
This organization is really struggling and they do not have the needed support funds.
Thankyou for taking the time to VOTE!
It does not take much time at all.
But every vote counts...everyday!!
I hope to be back in the next week..
for now..
What are YOU waiting for??

Dear Diary,

Another entry...

Gluten free...(Glutino)
and rice cheese...which does have casein in it, but we have this every other week...so the impact is so minimal..

I brought the pizza over to Myles after he had done the red circle and was adding cheese with yellow marker... then he says, "I need green and black please"


for the spices!!!
teehee!




mmmm...spicy pizza!




great job..my little journalist..



evidence he dressed himself...





Love the Comp Book.
Have a Love-fully!

What do you do??

When Everything Hurts?
The boys have had some kind of funk for the past couple of weeks now.
Early on in this journey of motherhood, when the boys would get sick, we would go to the doctor...and he would say.."it's a cold..give the medi...wait it out...7-10 days..."
Which really means anytime up to just about...42 days....after all is said and done...:)
First, Sammy had one pink eye...then a few days later it was Myles with both pink eyes...
antibiotics for both....a swing in our behavior...
and then the coughing started..
which means congestion..
and the only natural solution to ease the pain..

a bandaid ...

(that's dry erase marker on his chin)

everywhere it hurts..


He asked to put the bandaids on...
"BooBoo" he said.."I want bandaid please"
so... what's a mommy to do?




be accomodating ofcourse!!




and drink up...only..17 days left!!!




Here's the BEST medi!!
Have a Love-fully!!

Dear Diary...

Here is another "bouncing off the walls" technique...
a 50 cent composition book and some crayons and a pencil....
so the words aren't random and said like role call...we are practicing writing them out in different sentences...

with tons of options...



Everyone is happy!!
more entries to come!
Have a Love-fully!

To our friends and family..


I picniked these for the class Valentine's!!
They were a big hit!

I mounted Myles' pictures on a simple heart...using scrapbook paper i happened to already have!...
THEN....on the night before the Valentine's were due...
I asked Myles to come to the table to write his Valentine's for his friends at school and his teachers...


He did!!


He worked for about 30 minutes...
40 cards!!
No stopping..
no crazy..
just amazing..LOVE!
Happy Valentine's Day Friends!
Have a Love-fully!
