A Few Pictures...


Maggie's Assessments have gone very well. I believe she has given the therapists a fairly accurate show of her abilities. I am so incredibly excited to see how Maggie will grow through this coming year.

My heart aches as I think about all the ways that
Maggie's young life has been a lesson in letting go for me.

Letting her go at 2 days old to fly in a helicopter...
Letting her go to be transported by ambulance at 5 days old...
Letting her go every night for 3 weeks to be left in the NICU...

Now, letting her go to school 2 years earlier than I was ready to do.

I love my Maggie, and I know that God loves her more.
I rest in that knowledge.

Paperwork Done!

I always like to include a picture!
I just love Maggie in piggy tales.

I finished all the paperwork that the local preschool needed before assessing Maggie for services next year. I don't know when we will hear from the school regarding the timeline for assessment since it is the end of the present school year. The Special Ed. Department is, no doubt, very busy wrapping up this year. So, we will wait until the phone call.

Also, I just wanted to share how God has been blessing us with just the right people in our lives. We joined a new church on Easter Sunday and from that Sunday on we have felt that God really does want us to be involved there. We have met many friends and have loved the nursery classes for the kids. The teachers are amazing and we are especially thankful for how they have blessed Maggie. Everyday she comes out of class with a smile and a craft. Awesome!

If that all wasn't enough, we were introduced to the pastor's wife a few weeks ago. Their youngest son is Hypotonic with no official diagnosis. Isn't that amazing? To think that I have a friend and contact regarding Hypotonia right in our very own church. God is amazing!

I have had so many people helping me along the way, and I praise God that he has given us the chance to show His love through Maggie's life. It's an amazing journey and we are so thankful that God is our strength through it all.
