“I never imagined it would be so much fun. It was the best night of my life!” -Thomas …
HDMS Multicultural night was a blast! I got to help serve the awesome array of South American dishes brought in by the families of Candelaria students. Thomas was super excited to perform the Happy Dance with his classmates. He said he was so happy he almost cried. All performances were amazing! We got to travel to South America, Asia, ancient Egypt, The Renaissance, The Galapagos Islands, and Meso-America .. Mayan, Inca and Aztecs …
Such wonderful people!

Prism Rainbow Shadow and Satisfying Breakfast and Heel Toe Walking and Vegetable Soup

More prism rainbow shadow beauty! What’s this one?? The Shadow Whisperer spotted this one.

Wild blueberry pancakes and spicy veggie breakfast sausage. Wow! This was incredibly satisfying. Followed it with a dripping juicy heirloom navel orange. Ahhhhh ….

Heel toe walking is getting so much better! For the past 7 months Lillian has been practicing on the treadmill at the lodge.
She goes over once a week and stays for about an hour to three hours to practice independence. I get a wee respite and she gets to practice being independent.
She started at about 5 minutes going at a very slow speed. She’s now up to 7 minutes and the speed has increased.
Wahooo!! Next step for independence practice is the library without me there!

Thomas and Lillian have successfully integrated me to the backwards world. Yesterday I wore my pants backwards without realizing until later in the day and this morning I had my shirt on backwards! Thomas is always putting his shirt on backwards and Lillian her pants.
The force is strong in this backwards world. xoxo
What Can I Do to Help
**THROWBACK POST**
December 17 2013:
Almost every afternoon and evening he asks, “What can I do to help?” …. with dinner, with cleaning, whatever …
Today I sold his old bicycle for $15 and gave the money to him. He gave his sister $5 of the money.
This past Saturday she LET him help her climb a big ole pile of snow in the library parking lot. That’s big. It usually has to be me. She. held. his hand. and let him. help her. WAHOOOO!
That boy is just a pure ball of LOVE. I’m so blessed and grateful we are on this journey together!!

December 26 2012:
I’m a blessed woman y’all! I got to do something very special today. I visited the Museum of Hand Made Stuff ….
Awesome Creativity. Got a really cool brochure detailing the items and they were all labeled in the Museum.
Later, I attended a one of kind show called the Lillian P. Darnell and Thomas A. Darnell Show. The lights were dimmed and I was treated to some cool interpretive dancing!
Team Member T & L have had a day full of letting their creativity and imagination have a ball!
