Many Blessings

In the last month or so, I've really been grateful for my many blessings and I don't think I share that gratitude enough. Too often, I think I wallow in self-pity--it's true that I kind of have a heavy load right now--but recently I've realized that nothing good comes from that and that my load doesn't even scratch the surface of what so many others go through.

I have a wonderful husband, who is extremely busy with life right now, but is always taking care of me. He takes so much upon himself to make my load easier. The difficulties of having an autistic son and twins has only brought us closer together.

I have the cutest baby girls in the whole wide world! The last ten months have kind of been a blur but both girls bring so much joy to our home everyday. I really believe that Heavenly Father blessed me with such perfect babies to help me cope when I have a rough day. Rather than adding to the chaos, they make it better.

I have the sweetest son ever! It's true that as I'm typing at this very moment I can hear him screaming over who knows what with one of his ABA instructors, but his tantrums are becoming less frequent. His ABA therapy is going so well! He is communicating so much better and letting more and more people into his life. He's allowing them to see the real Stockton that is so sweet and innocent. I think these next videos are good examples of what I'm talking about. We just can't wait for the day when he'll be this outgoing and verbal in public. It's also one more plug for the new iPhone and its ability to take decent videos on a split second notice - like when Stockton tells me he's going to read the books to me tonight!
