Received these the other day from @sashkaco just in time for #Autism Awareness month

Received these the other day from Sashkaco, just in time for Awareness month. Some of these will be donated to the my kids school to help raise funds for the students. This is a school for kids with Autism and the funds raised at the next family night will go to a special event for the kids at the end of the year. These kids work so hard and they deserve to just be kids for a little while. These are amazingly handcrafted and by skilled artisans in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Each purchase helps to empower these women to rise above poverty through fair trade. The bracelets are absolutely gorgeous and I have absolutely no idea how they build these because I can't find a single seam. They…

We have become quite fascinated by our fish tank As a family, we have become enamored with the fish and little creatures in our fresh-water tank. We almost spend more time staring into this glass cube of water, than we do watching TV. Anyway, the boys love watching the fish, shrimp, snails and crayfish do their thing. It's absolutely relaxing and is quite easy to manage. Lizze and I find ourselves sitting on the couch at night, watching all the activities going in this aquatic environment. If you don't have an aquarium, I highly recommend it. Instant stress relief..

Have you ever seen anyone looked more guilty before? This is the look of a dog who just spent 20 minutes outside, came back into the house and pooped on the floor.

Behind the Scenes – Downtime with my youngest

There are times where the only thing I can do to help Emmett is to simply stop everything and snuggle. Emmett hasn't been feeling well and on the edge of a meltdown for the last couple of days. Many kids with Autism don't like to be touched but Emmett is someone who responds positively to affection. No matter how upset he is, I've always been able to call him over and hug or snuggle him. It usually helps him, at least to some extent. This is from the other day when Emmett was really struggling.

Ruby fell asleep on my lap

So I've found a new subject for my amateur photography hobby. Right now I'm loving taking pictures of Ruby. For one thing, she's adorable and the other is she's super cooperative. ☺ The ferrets are impossible to photograph clearly because they never stay still. I need a way better camera to capture them. Perhaps someday... ☺ Anyway, I took this one of Ruby while she was napping on my lap this afternoon.

3 pictures of moments that made me smile

We all have our good days and our bad days. Yesterday was a blend of both good and bad but there were also some bright spots as well. I wanted to highlight a couple of these bright spots because they made me smile. First up is courtesy of Mr. Gavin. His new IVIG infusion pump finally showed up and he was able to use it for the first time tonight. He was excited and it was a pretty good infusion.. ☺ Gavin killed me with his super serious face but whatever... He's happy and that makes me happy. ☺ The final bright spot took place much later and was signed, sealed and delivered by Mr. Emmett. I mentioned in the previous post that Emmett wasn't feeling well last night. He…
