Sibshop time for Thomas! Super big plus: Don Meyer is facilitating this one as it’s a demonstration Sibshop. I went through Sibshop training with Don facilitating a few years ago at UNR. I know Thomas is having a ball! He was sitting next to Don when I left. Oceans of gratitude to Diana Beeghly Rovetti and Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities for putting this together. This is Thomas’ 4th one and he loves being a part of them!!!
Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my Momma, Patty!! Being your daughter is one of my greatest treasures and one of my biggest opportunities for learning and growing. Love, Love, Love YOU! Hope you and Frank are having FUN!!! We miss having y’all just around the corner!! xoxo
Extra cool library day! We went to a library we’ve never visited!! So awesome, beautiful view, and we didn’t even get to look through all the books and movies. The lighting or something inside made Lillian sick to her stomach. Had to go really fast! She felt better once we got outside and headed home. We’ll have to go back and try again!

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” – Stephen King
Library Day!! Lillian’s favorite was the peacock pumpkin, I liked the spooky pumpkin, and Thomas liked the white one but he was already in the lobby reading! Lillian and I got our turn in the photo booth this time too!!

Another book that Team TLC really enjoyed … “Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas”!
Simple, enchanting tales that give a glimpse into Tibetan culture, sharing inspiring wisdom relating to peace, gratitude and seeing with the heart. I was only going to read one per night. Thomas and Lilian loved it so much they did not want me to stop! We read all three in one night!

Thank you Manal Toppozada for having me come speak to your undergrad med class today at UNR again this semester. I so much enjoy giving students a parent’s view of advocacy for children with special needs and give them an opportunity to walk in our shoes, if only for a few minutes. This time they got the added benefit of seeing my eyes sweat when talking about receiving THE phone call … the one delivering the news when Lillian was 3 years old. Oops!! Guess I’m just in an eye sweating mood!!! Looking forward to next semester’s class! They ask such GREAT questions! xoxo
