I wish.........

I was talking to my nephew Nathan tonite about my boys. I was blessed enough to be able to help take care of Nathan when he was younger(wasn't he a cutie :) )

and be a part of his life growing up, and now, he has that same opportunity and is a part of my boys lives.

He reminded me in our conversation about something that happened today and I wanted to share it with you too :)............ Thank you Nate for our wonderful conversation tonite, luv ya!

There are days like today, where I wish so badly Handsome never would have had to be affected by autism. That he could have been a typical little boy, no cronic constipation, no horrible echzema, no AUTISM, just a happy healthy "typical" boy.......

But.....in the same sense I'm grateful for all the Lord has taught me. Because of it I never would have learned to cherish the small things with my boys. You have no idea (well, no some of you may :) ) how amazing it is for me to see Gabriel speak in sentences to me at barely 2 years old like today, he was talking to me about his silly binky " Mommy, its buu binky (blue)" and I started to cry, cause I realize (almost)everytime he speaks what a blessing it is!!! And I'm so grateful to the Lord!

Now on a side note :)
I took the boys to the park to play for a couple hours this weekend, it was beautiful out and they had a blast!!

Handsome, did some things he never would have been able to do just last year! He walked on this sidewalk beem with out any help and acted like it was no biggie... JUST a year ago that NEVER would have been possible.... Just another accomplishment for Handsome!! Way to go Bud!!!!

Then Handsome helped Mommy and pushed his brother on the swings!!!!

And Littleman well I have no idea what he was doing in this picture, but it sure is cute :)

Much Love Always,
