The Good and the Bad

 I guess it is life as an adult, but I always think things will slow down and they never seem too! But after so many years where our lives revolved around hospital stays and constant appointments, I try to appreciate that this busyness comes from a life lived to the fullest. 

My sweet boy continues to live his life learning and loving his people! This is always a hard time as the semester comes to a close and he has lots of assignments, papers and tests as a result. But he continues to enjoy being a part of the Esports team, volunteering, and learning about different cultures.

Maddy Moo always keeps me on the go. This is such a special time with her. She has a speaking/singing role in a production with our church choir, she has a big part with several dances in her Spring dance recital, and we are gearing up for our busy horse show season with the World shows in the summer and fall. On top of that we are fitting in our doctors visits and having a weekly playdate with friends while still trying to fit in school! I am loving seeing her with a little more confidence and enjoying some social time. She is so comfortable at the barn that some sassiness even sneaks out! She is willing to speak to her coach and the other parents and riders and will joke and chat with them. While that isn't newsworthy for many, knowing where Maddy has come from it is so special to watch these relationships form.  She has also turned into an avid reader so I often catch her with a book in her hand during our down time!

Our precious Lila still gets love everyday!

This boy is such a love. He has stolen everyone's heart at the barn.

Bruce and I celebrated our 23rd Anniversary on March 30th. We had a rare night out which was fun! I have also made time to get out with some girlfriends over the past few weeks. I am so grateful for so many amazing friends in my life. For me time with our people fills my bucket and makes my life so much better. Medically I am on the struggle bus a bit. The medication that wanted me to try has made me feel worse instead of better. I am hopeful that we will find a solution to get me feeling better as I don't have time to be down!
