This will be my first mothers day here, and I have never felt more blessed. Life isn't easy but you need a little rain sometimes to see those big beautiful rainbows in all their glory. :)
Weve had some new adventures, and I am proud of Jason and I
It can be hard, taking the twins an Liam out to social events. Simply put, the twins are 2. Plus there are 2 of them. lol
Also Liam can be hard to manage at times. He is autistic, and also he's 4 and spoiled. (i can own that. Its a work in progress :D).
So, we have spent the last few years not really doing as much as we would have in the past. not going very many places except the "comfortable spots" like local parks and such.
But the hermit life is not for us (def not for me!) and we have made a conscious effort to push past the fears/anxieties and reservations since we have been here.
I recently reached out Parent to Parent of Miami and got a ton of local resources and helpful info. We spent yesterday afternoon at their P2P Miami picnic, which was awesome! I got to meet my support specialist, Michelle and she and everyone made us feel so welcome. P2P is such an awesome community of people. It was located at a beautiful shady park close by. The kids loved the playground, and they had a petting zoo. All i need to say. lol
Today, we decided to check out the Atlantis Academy 2014 Spring Concert, and we had a blast. The kids took over the jump houses, Liam was in jumphouse heaven, going from one to the other and by the end of it the were all drenched in sweat with huge smiles on their faces. jason and i got our food truck eats on and we hung out for a few hours.
Oh, and in between it all, we received a large box. Inside? A stuffed penguin for Liam.
PEN-MA! BayBee PENMA!
He fell asleep last night with one arm wrapped around its neck and its amde its nest in Liams bed.
Thank you Papa.
Checking out the "Wall Rainbows"
(miss you)
Happy Mothers Day to all you mamas out there.
Love and light,
