Taking the time to sit and reflect on the week as I write this post helps me continue to teach my heart to be grateful.

Jason getting home by 5 all week and having that extra time to play with the kids.~Milestones by the minute for Alayna- It seems like sometimes we have to wait a bit for a milestone then other times they seem to rain down. Alayna learned how to blow her nose this week, is taking 5-6 steps at a time, has some new words (I spy, right there, yes), shaking her head for yes and no, recognizes tunes and is asking for songs and participating by adding words (says Up in twinkle, twinkle, says "o" in Bingo and Old MacDonald and does signs for animals and sounds), is signing potty when she is peeing in her diaper!
~A little extra provision this week. I do some admin work from home for a gal when she is on vacation. The guy I work for is great to work around Alayna's nap and therapy schedules and pays me really well.
~Aidan excelling at piano, he is so excited to play and is working on his second song already. I promise to post a video of him playing soon. I taped him today but, he missed a couple notes so he gave me strict orders to NOT put it on the blog. Wonder where he gets that perfectionist quality? hmmm....
~The outpouring of support for our Step Up for Down Syndrome team. Everyone has contributed nearly $5000 (almost $400,000 for all KC teams!). Our little three some will definitely be the best dressed team at the party on Saturday thanks to our Big Sarah.
Finally, I am really thankful for my BSF lessons that continue to stretch me and evaluate myself.
Hope you are having a great week, I know you have something that you are grateful for....come on do share!

Yeah for Alayna taking so many steps.
Thankful for fall and the beautiful harvest moon. I have been enjoying the full moon. For the past few nights I have sat outside and watched the moon come up over the mountains. I can't help but think that Kristen is enjoying that same full moon.
Thankful for my angel girl and how she taught me to live every minute with love, grace and gratitude. (I am a slow learner, but the lesson was there and I am trying.)
