WOW! 2 years ago I started a blog and one year ago tonight I finished it! That was quite the journey back then and we have had QUITE the journey now as well. There has been so darn much that has happened since we have moved here to Dallas. Tons of things missing from the moving van, us being homeless the day we left for Texas because the owners of our home didn't feel like selling it to us anymore, I broke my toe the first day we moved into the house, and it kinda goes on. But through it all I have had this blog. The best decision I ever made was to do a Sunshine blog for Dallas. I look back on my insanely horrid days sometimes and the things I need to focus on for this blog are the happy moments. Sometimes they are teeny tiny, but they are always there if you are willing to look!
Today is my son's 4th birthday. That was quite the journey 4 years ago to get him here as well! I shed tears of joy as my doctor pulled him out of my tummy because it was OVER and I didn't have to be pregnant anymore. But I love that little gift! He has turned into such an amazing kid and overcome a lot of communication difficulties. There is so much to work on still, but I am grateful that with each prayer I send up to Heaven for help to know how to parent my lil guy, I do get answers and I feel like I am getting better each day at being his mom.
We had a fun birthday celebration for him today. We went to church this morning and they sang "Happy Birthday" to him in class. He was SO excited about going to church to get to hear them sing to him!
When we came home, I made mac and cheese for dinner and Connor got to say the prayer because it was his birthday...so cute. We got to Skype with my parents who sang "Happy Birthday" to Connor...he was all smiles for that! He also got to talk on the phone to David's family. He has been one lucky little boy today!
When it came time for the cake, we couldn't locate the candle we had bought anywhere! At that point, I wasn't even sure I knew where a lighter was. So when our friends and neighbors came over to get some cake and sing "Happy Birthday" to Connor...I guess that makes about time number 4 for that song today...what a coincidence! Our neighbor had the app on his phone for a candle so he held that up over the cake and then Connor blew on it and my neighbor turned it off! It was so cute and such a clever 21st century way to blow out the candles!
It was a really nice time this evening and I just feel so blessed that we have some amazing neighbors that live nearby. I am so grateful for them and their willingness to come over and sing so we had more than just us to eat Connor's cake.
Well, tomorrow is the first day of school for Joel! I couldn't find the camera battery anywhere for our camera and I didn't even know where to look! David and I looked around for an hour and I said a prayer. I felt very strongly that we would find it tonight....just a feeling of peace and calm and "no worries, you will get it in time for taking pictures of Joel." So we kept looking around. AND, I found it! In a random back with items from David's work bench box. So grateful for life's little blessings! So onto my next day and I can't wait to hear what Joel's day is like! Night all!
