Subbing tomorrow, Friday, and Monday in Sierra and I get to help the students create vision boards. It was such a hit last year, I get to do it again! I am so grateful to receive emails like this one from the teacher in Sierra letting me know what must get done and then asking … “do you have some things you would like to do with the students?” She had requested I do the vision board lesson with them already. I suggested that November is a GREAT month to focus on gratitude. So, we will be creating a Gratitude Wall in the classroom. Should be fun!

Lillian’s gratitude for today:

I am thankful to have clothes.

18 … I am grateful for this beautiful number. A number that has led me to the person I am today. A number that has connected me with people all over the World … Austria, Australia, Canada, England, Israel, Italy, Spain, Venezuela and I’m pretty sure just about EVERY state in the United States! Who woulda thought that a little girl born with a piece of the short arm of her Chromosome #18 deleted (18p-), would serve to create such amazing connections that span the globe. I’m grateful for and blessed for all of my C18 family … They inspire me, motivate me, educate me in a way I cannot even describe. This chromosome abnormality adventure would be missing something if they weren’t a part of this journey. I’m grateful to Jannine DeMars Cody for having the tenacity and courage to create The Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society over 20 years ago!! I LOVE all Y’all!! If I left out your country and we are C18 “family” let me know!

Thomas’ gratitude for today:

I’m thankful for Mommy.

Adventures in discovering how stuff works!!! Cool!! – Discovery Museum

Thank you Washoe County Library! Library card holders receive one free family pass per year. It’s set up sort of like checking out a book. Check out one pass a year!

Check out my tower! Ha! And the cool veins in my hand! And an upside down Lillian. Team TLC at the electrosketch and spotted Biggest Little Photographer in the gift shop and a hand full of itty bitty loves.

It’s been a year or two since we’ve been and it’s not as exciting for them as it was when they were younger. Yet, it was fun thinking about how much fun had been had on previous visits. Good stuff!!
