Almost three years ago (Mother's Day) Dan and I were on an over night date and I picked up these cute smiles from McDonalds for the kids. Little did I know then that the next 24 hours would change our lives forever with the discovery of Ian's tumor. It is this simple reminder that I keep in my night stand to " Keep smiling". Call it what you may, but I truly believe it was a sign from above. (Especially after we spent the next three weeks living at the Ronald McDonald House.) I pull this out every so often to remind me of the greatness I have in my life. May all of you who share in our story find your simple reminder of what is really important in life and.... keep smiling.
Ian has his new hearing aid and his response, " MOM! I can hear you I don't need it!". This may be true, but we are trying it to see if it will be beneficial in the classroom setting. This kid amazes me EVERY DAY!
We had a special guest on Thursday. "Dodger" the K-9 court Lab was happy to be with us. He has an open invation to come when ever he has a fix to be around kids. Kurt shared with us Dodger's role in the court system.
