Happy Birthday Robert Lawrence!

You are the love of my life!

May all of your wishes come true

&

may this be your best year yet!!!!

Happy Autumn!

It is always an adventure

with

my little cowboys!

We are all the same!!!!

Quinn has been asking me several times a day 

if we could have his friends

Jacob & Joshua

over to play!!!

We made that happen today!

 Jacob & Joshua's Sis is in Izzy's class 

&

is one of her friends!

&

Lindsay is on Quinn's soccer team.

After I set up the playdate with the boy's mom

after soccer practice

Izzy asked if Lindsay was coming as well.

I said that I didn't even think about it.

So Izzy made me run & catch their mom

to ask if Lindsay could come as well.

Lindsay's mom started crying 

& 

made me cry as well.

Linsay has a diagnosis of autism

& 

has never been asked on a peer playdate.

It never even crossed our minds...

We have had one of the greatest afternoons in a long time!!!

I am so proud of Izzy for being Lindsay's friend with no judgement

just pure love & kindness!!!

I feel like I have done something right as a parent to instill that non judgemental quality that I was raised with!

My heart is so full this evening

as 

Izzy & Lindsay 

currently

watch 

Project Runway 

on our bed under the covers

happy as clams!!!!!

Please try not to judge people for being different

because

we are all the same!!!

Be kind!

Love matters!!!

We are the winners here today!!!!

Quite the night!

We decided to go for a whirl 

in the 

canoe & kayak 

this evening!

 Rob contemplating his navel!

 Izzy then hacked my camera...

 Sweet Monica has four kittens...

This one is Smoke!

 They are so stinking cute!!!

 Aspen was in love!!!!

I bet we will end up with one...
