Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2004. Mattie was two years old. For his birthday, we taped paper and activity sheets to the front hallway wall. When kids came over, they had a blast on this wall. After all, how many kids are welcomed to draw on the walls? We would leave this paper wall up for over two weeks so Mattie could continue to draw, create and do activities. He loved it and I loved watching Mattie take it all in!

Today was a three ring circus! I was juggling caregiving, my dad's physical therapist, an HVAC inspection, and Steve (the fellow who helps me with all things outside). I gave Steve a long list of issues today and he was with me for three hours. I really did not know what I was doing first and now that it is 7:30pm, I am worn out at every level. Of course in the midst of this circus, there were issues with the internet. I was getting all sorts of messages from equipment in the house that couldn't connect to wi-fi! If you have been following along on this blog, then you know I have a Verizon angel. I contacted the angel and he remotely managed this connectivity issue!
I am very well aware of what has been taken from my life, but I am also very thankful for the people who I have met who help me manage issues that I can't face alone. For this I am grateful.
