BIG EMOTIONS! If I were to describe Benji in two words it would be those = BIG EMOTIONS. This boy feels all things BIG these days, which is pretty great a lot of the time {because he is a generally pretty happy, carefree kid} but he is also embracing a bit of the “three-nager” qualities …
Autism & ADHD
I have questioned this post and what to include in it over and over. This blog has always been about our family and, right now, this is something greatly impacting our family and we wanted to share.

Mother’s Day
“The Lord loves effort, and effort brings rewards.” – Joy D. Jones This quote has been in the front of my mind the last several weeks. It is something I have found myself remembering when I wake up tired in the morning, when I kneel to pray at night (aware of all the things I …
