If anyone exemplifies that adage, it’s YOU Barbara. And I can’t believe you celebrated your 82nd birthday this past week. You are an inspiration, my friend. XO

You’re sweet Cheyanne – thanks friend. It brings me great joy writing about Hudson and all his little successes. He has had a great couple weeks verbally – has said quite a few words — cheese, slide, go, help, etc. He was evaluated for a speech device last week, has another evaluation coming up next week and then we hope to get him set up. It must be frustrating to live in a world of words when you can’t get them out. I do think he’ll be able to talk some day, it’s just the when. Thanks for being such an encouragement, I’m thankful for you. XO

Un grand merci pour les commentaires doux mon ami de . Il y a quelque chose de précieux d’être aimé de tout le monde. J’espère que vous et votre famille rencontrez le meilleur été jamais. XO

Thank you for the kind words, friend, I know you must be very busy as I’ve not seen a post from you in a while. I hope that means you’re enjoying the summer to the fullest with your sweet family. We are on vacation at the Cape this week, it’s been wonderful, I love the sights around here. Lots of beautiful beaches, water, lighthouses and boats. The weather has been great except for today – it was in the mid 90’s and very humid. XO

Thank you my friend, children bring such joy. XO

Thank you so much, dear Sallie. Life is precious, that’s for sure. Thank you for loving Hudson across the miles. XO

Hudson would love you Karla and I’m delighted to hear about Ethan’s basketball successes. So awesome. Hope you’re having a great summer, friend. It’s been such a nice one around here, mostly mild weather and I have gotten out and enjoyed it so much more I did than last summer. We’re at the Cape as a family right now and enjoying a nice family week together, though today it was in the mid 90’s and humid.

Thank you so much, what kind words. We’re truly blessed. xo
