Wow!!  2016!  It's been THAT long?  I'm a totally different person now.  I really have been wanting to put my thoughts out there again and finally have had the time to check and see if my blogger account is still active.  Here it is.  Here I am.  

Truth be told, life has been a whirlwind from January 2020 on.  I had my 3rd child, he is a double rainbow.  It wasn't something that we were planning on.  But I got my health back and BOOM it happened.  When he was approaching 2 years old our pediatricians office was concerned.  They didn't say the A word - but deep down I knew that's what was alarming them.  Since I decided to accept reality we have experienced lots of therapies and hard days.   It took me some time to be open to ABA therapy and to find a place without a waiting list.  This is the reason I'm able to type this out now- we have found a place and it was needed 2 YEARS ago- If I'm going to be completely honest.  

This little guy has opened our eyes to so much.  My older kids will be better people, and my husband and I as well.  At this time we are unable to go out to eat together or to attend church together as a family.  I really miss doing things with all of us.  But I have HOPE that the time will come.  Having HOPE is essential to having happiness and sanity.  Hope and Humility really are two things I aim for each moment, each day.  

I think it may help me to type out how I feel, what I'm grateful for and what we are encountering on our journey with a non-speaking 4 year old and two much older kids.  

Many blessings!
