We cannot stay forever on the “mount of transfiguration,” basking in the light of our mountaintop experience (see Mark 9:1-9 ). But we must obey the light we received there; [...]

But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient. For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.

Everything is fine now. (Breathe, mom!) But Mr 3 has croup and early this morning he had some difficulty breathing. It just wouldn’t resolve with the usual steps of shower mist and outside walks in the cool air. Since he has a history of severe croup, off to the ER we went.

My 3 year old spends a lot of time with his older brothers. That is as it should be and I love to see them include him in their play. It is wonderful to see a 12 year old opt to play kitchen or rice bin with a 3 year old. all with a smile [...]

Let’s see…
We went to Disney World for 3 days. Lots of fun! I highly recommend their disability pass for those of you who have autistic children. It made SUCH a huge difference for my son, and by default…all [...]
