Heartbreaking.....

 ....and true Abigail Renae is a Kindergartener.  The night before Aaron  came home from work early to our surprise and we rented" Rango" and made a fort in Abi's honor. It was fun, yet  amazing that 5 years went by that fast. Then daddy who is wonderful pulled Abi unto his lap and expressed all the wonders of Kindergarten and it was sweet. Nothing as sexy as your hubby being a daddy. Then he gave Abi and I blessings for a wonderful year, teacher, and bravery.

  Before I knew it that pesky alarm rang and on came my brave face. We got dressed Abi looked so darn cute!

Then came time to take her into school. I braced myself and smiled gave her a watch and a necklace that made her brave. Off we went. We found her room, teacher, and kissed. Then came this face and those oh so  pretty swelled with tears. Nothing like knowing the difference between what your child wants and needs. I would have  grabbed her in my arms and ran.  To be honest I am pretty sure the only reason why that did not happen was because Aaron gave me the look.  You know the one Husbands give where they seem to say" Think this threw before you do it"
Finally the end of the day came I got her and Kindergarten is getting easier and better everyday! Now only 7 more months to go!

I Love these people!!!



 As most of you know my childhood and now adulthood was filled with adventures. I had lots of surgeries and my time was well spent at Nemores Children's Clinic whether it was appointments, surgeries, or physical therapy I was there 3-4 times a week for almost 4 years. These 3 people I love dearly. From right to left is Shannon (she is the appointment lady and boy she hooked us up) Then is the magic man himself who worked so hard to safe my wild leg and did), Last is Debbie ( she was my physical therapist my little monster I called her. She could torture me for hours and I would roll or walk away still loving her.
    A couple of weeks ago I ran into Shannon and then I was invited for lunch and I jumped on it. I got to share how happy I am and everything that has happened with my leg since leaving Dr. Hahn( at the age of 21).  We shared about our families and then we all cried. For so long I have wanted to tell them Thank You. They loved me and looking back fought right along with my mom and I for normalcy. In fact Shannon and Debbie were there at my graduation and celebrated that I WALKED the line, right with my family. I love them and was so thankful  for the influence that had in my life. They are amazing and I know for sure sent here with there wonderfulness from Heaven.
