.:Thanksgiving:.

This year we got to spend Thanksgiving at my moms house. It really was so nice to get out of the house and be able to get some fresh air. I feel like I have just been in my house for almost the last month. But I have enjoyed being able to be home with Mason. This year I just so grateful for so many things. I look at how far Jackson has come in his almost 6 years. He is doing such amazing things in school. He is starting to read and he is doing so good at it. It just amazes me when Jackson comes home and tells me about playing football and soccer at recess. I honestly didn't know if he would be able to do these things and I feel so blessed that I have been able to watch him do it. I am so grateful for my new little addition. Mason is such a great baby. He is so happy and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. I think that Jackson really needed a brother. He is the best big brother that I know. He is so helpful and is always asking us what he can do to help. I love my family. I am so blessed to be married to the man that I am married too. Barry has been more than helpful. This past year he has done more for me than I could have ever asked for him to do. Latley he has done all the cooking, laundry and dishes. It has been so nice since I am so tired by the end of the day. I just love life and can't imagine it could be any better than this.

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
