Nice weekend...

I personally had a great weekend. Saturday Renae went out for some much needed "mom time". I got to spend the day with the girls, most of which ended up being me and Faith. We made cheese cake and cooked chicken pot pie from scratch. Faith has become quite passionate about her cooking. Sunday evening she made quesadillas. It was just a great weekend without much stress. There were a couple of times Faith was on the verge of melting down, but she was able to avoid it for one reason or another. Just a wonderful time around the house. It just amazes me how easy it is to forget the tough times while basking in the good. We also had some friends last week find out that their child was autistic. I was proud to know that they came to us for some guidance. Our neighbors have two children who are autistic. Their mom had no problem coming over yesterday evening and ensuring this young couple of all the help and resources out there and her and Renae went over the IEP that they unknowingly went through. By coming out and sharing our story, or should I say Faith's story, we are meeting great families that we otherwise would not get to know. I have to admit right now I am in a place in my life where I think I may be the happiest I have ever been. A lot of it has to do with the appreciation I have from all the lows I have experienced. I think those lows make just normal things in life feel like highs to me, which will make the highs feel like Mt. Everest hopefully. I am about to ramp up on the fund raising very soon, we are getting down to the last five or six months. Tess really wants to put together a benefit speed show, which are popular horse events for the 4H kids. This is going to be a lot of work but I want her to experience putting together something like this which was her idea and watch it become a reality. So hope everyone has a great week. Thanks for keeping up with this blog and don't be afraid to pass it on. Kris
