Summer break

The kids have officially been on summer vacation for a few days now. While it's not the typical summer for our family this year, the kids are still sufficiently excited. 

I want to acknowledge the amazing teachers who taught our children this past year. What a challenging year for our family on a personal level, and what wonderful support and love our children received at school. I can't emphasize how grateful we are for each and every teacher, learning specialist, OT, administrator, counselor, clergy, coach, and any form of instructor in our lives.  I certainly don't have pictures with all of these people, but here are a few:

Reese with her 2nd grade teachers, Ms. Mouser & Ms. O'Gallagher:


And her math teacher, Ms. Hughes:


Reese's school has made sure she is fully supported from day one of hearing of my diagnosis. A lot of uncertainty has surrounded us, but one constant was the strong support net around Reese every day at school.

Likewise, Weston's school has shown tremendous and constant support for our son and our entire family. While he doesn't spend as much time at school as Reese since he's in preschool, it's been such a comfort to know that everyone was watching out for him and nurturing him through this time.

Weston, with his teachers Ms. Jackie & Ms. Gina:


We love all of the educators who touched our lives this year!

And summer means more relaxed mornings in general, as evidenced by Weston and what we like to call "dinosaur hair"!


Happy summer y'all. I'll be back on the blog once more before the big day.

  1. I just caught up on the blog and want to tell you how happy it makes me to see you and your beautiful family. The support and love they give you mirrors only what you give them, day in and day out. I am sending you light and love and I will be doing so all day tomorrow. You are so loved, my beautiful friend!
