A Joyful Day

What a joyful day!!!!! Today Bill took the day off and gave me the gift of spending the entire day with me!!! We started off the morning by going to Austin's school and visiting with a group of educational professionals who helped us to see Austins strengths and weaknesses. We are so pleased that he can receive services to help him in areas that need strengthened. He will also be given accommodations when he needs them. We are grateful to his teachers for working with him to help him to receive the services that will help him progress.

Bill, Maddie, and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch together at Chilli's. It was so nice to talk without being interrupted. I have the greatest husband. He is so kind and thoughtful. He still makes me giggle like a little school girl. I am often reminded of when we dated he could make me laugh until my sides hurt. His sense of humor is one of the many reasons I married him and he can still make me cry with laughter. It's a great life with Bill. Happy Valentines Day!

It was a beautiful day, the first after a long winter. I can feel Spring in the air. I couldn't stand wasting the after school part of the day, so we took Willy Austin and Lydia to the park and tried to fly kites. Willy really got his way high in the sky, to the end of the string. It was awesome. There is something about flying kites it's like the freeing of the soul letting it see something bigger and brighter. It draws your eyes heaven ward. After succeeding and failing with the kites, Lydia and Austin enjoyed playing on the "happy toys". Willy shot a few hoops before we put the beautiful sunny day to rest.

It truly was a joyful day. Thanks for the sunshine today!!!! Thanks Bill for spending the day with me!!!!!
