Where did the time go?!?

Where did the time go?  In the blink of an eye my kids have completely grown up on me.  This summer was such a whirlwind of fun times at the beach, summer camps, my brother Alex's wedding, swimming pool expeditions and Stephen's surgery- it's hard to believe it has already come and gone and we are well on our way to Halloween.  In order to try and capture all of the wonderful memories my family is making I (aka Danielle) has decided to start a blog to keep track of it all.  My hope is that weekly I can update with fun things the kids and I have done, trips we have taken and funny moments we've had. This is the beginning of the crazy journey into our lives!

This week we had lots on our plate, besides the standard therapy sessions, dance lessons, piano lessons and homework pile we also had the FABULOUS Spooktacular at Marbles Museum for special needs families.  The kids had such a great time meeting everyone and seeing everything they had set up, it was so nice because it wasn't overly crowded so we could easily get Stephen around. 

The kids were greeted by stromtroopers and R2D2, Lily Gray loved it because she was R2D2 last year for Halloween.

We also got to see Darth Vader and more stromtroopers, they were so great with the kids!

Ok so this year we are having an 'Alice in Wonderland' themed Halloween party and Lily Gray is going to be the Cheshire Cat and Stephen is going to be the Mad Hatter.  This lady at Marbles painted this AMAZING Cheshire Cat face on Lily Gray in a matter of minutes- we are going to do our best to replicate this for Halloween but it was unbelievable! 

Here are both kids with their faces painted like the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat, they LOVED every minute of it.

Saturday we had Stephen's Miracle League game, this week our buddies were from Grace Christian school and Stephen had the sweetest buddies.

  

Lily Gray loves to sing the National Anthem at these games, she has become a Miracle League celebrity.

The whole team after a great game! What an awesome way to spend Saturday afternoons.
