My Family

I love my family. I know that’s the most obvious statement ever but having my daughter almost 11 years ago completely changed my life. Was it planned? No. Were we prepared? No. Did we know what autism was? No. 

We have learned a lot over the years.  My children make me a better person every single day. Sometimes you are given what you need.

My husband and I have been together almost 13 years and honestly I don’t know what I would do without him. I mean who else would help me these kids?  All joking aside we were not dealt the easiest hand but I can’t imagine not having him by my side in this crazy life. 

The child that made me grow up real fast and oh what a ride it has been. Not an easy one by any measure but the one that put everything into perspective. The one that shows us every day you can find joy in the smallest things. Oh, how I wish I could see inside your mind. You are non verbal but I feel how much you have to say and I hear you even without words. 

My little unicorn. We waited a long time to have you and it was well worth the wait.  The smartest, funniest and most charismatic little human I have ever meant. That being matched with the most dramatic is where we run into trouble but there is never a dull moment when you are around.

The one that completed our family. You will always be my baby and I cherish every moment I still get to hold you in my arms (you are a very busy 2 year old after all). You make me smile every day even when you are giving me a heart attack with how curious and “brave“ you are, always doing things way bigger than you should! I can’t wait to see what you become and am very happy to be your mommy.
