October 27 2015:

Thank you Barbara Richmond Chastain for making me aware of this website! And, thank you Abbi Holtom Whitaker for sharing the idea of a word of the day to live by. Last week, I thought, “I want a word of the day suggested to me everyday so Team TLC can start incorporating this.” Not too long after I had this thought, Barbara sent me a card from this website. I LOVE LOVE!! And I love this quote and photo! xoxo

“Love is not a feeling; it is a great power, an Intelligence to which we are all heir and have been forever called.” -ANNE HILLMAN

Thomas’ gratitude for today:

I’m super grateful and thankful to have somebody named Lillian to laugh with and to make happy.

************

I’m grateful for the creative and talented people that create songs into beautiful, passionate, moving music, grateful for the musical instruments that these amazing people are so gifted at using. Blessed and grateful that I get to be on the receiving end of their talents and be inspired and uplifted … sometimes that means bringing a smile to my face, sometimes that means making my eyes sweat, and sometimes that means dance, dance, dancing and shaking my hips!!

********

Lillian’s gratitude for today:

I’m thankful for socks.

**************

After a full day of training for the contract work I’m about to begin and experiencing first hand the repair, love and care that these children need from horrid things that they have experienced …. I just got done watching the most amazing, inspiring and beautiful “concert” by the ‘Love Me Band’ (Thomas and Lillian) … Two solo songs by Thomas about Love and Thanksgiving,Two solo songs by Lillian about Thanksgiving and a Thanksgiving song performed by both of them together … My eyes just about sweated (ok, now they are sweating) … And I was once again filled with the beauty, wonder and blessings of life … My hope is that everyone goes to sleep tonight thinking of ALL they have to be grateful for .. Hugs and Love Y’all ..

December 1 2014:

The interesting things that come into your life when you are connected with people all over the world due to deleted genetic material from one’s daughter’s 18th chromosome.

Thomas’s class got assigned Australia for their multicultural report this year. Thomas chose Victoria. He’s finished all his research and is working on the creative piece now of displaying some of what he learned. I mentioned to him that we’ve got more than several C18 friends in Australia. Let’s look and see if any of them live in Victoria and we can see if she would like to send a post card or something. Hot Diggity Dog!

Thanks Deb Goodrick for playing along and sending some goodies to Thomas! Can’t wait for him to put it all together! So blessed by the kindness and enthusiasm of others!

Yes Katharine Newman! It’s a big hit! Especially last night after watching the Nutcracker. Left the projector connected and had fun looking at it really big, putting the giant puzzles together, and making huge snowflakes! Thank YOU! xoxo

YAY me! Got lights up in the front and back! I’m glad I have such a sense of humor. I was cracking myself up with some of less than wise moves I was making. Stringing lights with the plug in on the wrong end, hearing at least 2 of the ceramic bulbs pop as they hit the ground and trying to hammer nails into this crumbly stucco exterior (and seeing the nails fly all over)! We’ll see how long the scotch tape holds up in the back! HA! I have two happy, happy kids too!! Totally worth it! xoxo

I am so lucky!! Got a weather report delivered to me in bed this morning at 6:30 am by Weather Fairy Lillian!! This young lady cannot begin her day without 10-30 minutes of weather observations, AND she must share it with others! Then I treated myself to some yummy vanilla cinnamon tea in front of the fire! There’s nothing like quiet time! Happy December 1st y’all!!

**********

Lillian ran out of books. Here we are, What would this Team TLC do without libraries?

***************

Gets me EVERY time. Team TLC Movie Night Adventures for tonight.

So full of gratitude tonight for all the amazing beautiful friends and family in my life. I’m gonna have one of these fancy yummy chocolates I bought tonight, read some and go to sleep full of happiness and peace {and chocolate}, and cherish my last night of me time!
