This is almost word for word the life of our son Elliott....and with budget cuts taking away his Developmental Therapy April 15th in the state of NC, he and countless thousands will be losing a very crucial component of their therapy. We are blessed to have insurane that covers 80% of his OT and Speech therapy (which... he has 3 days a week) but we are devestated that he will lose 40 hours a month of developmental therapy after going throuh so much just to get it. Now he will be placed on a CAP "waiting" list....these children cannot "wait" for services....I beg and ask all of you to flood the legislative offices of NC to dig deep and find resources to help restore the funding that is so desperately needed.....what kind of world do you want???

We went back once more to see the sea of golden spring flowers....it was quite crowded with so many visitors yesterday. It is awesome that the family allows guests to come and visit, sit a spell, and take pictures.

We went out to check out the daffodils in bloom and go through a trial run of poses and pics....we did grab some good ones...and hope to go back again this week

After two days of auger racing (to see who can get the most shells...we call it the Shrek Shell because he was an ogre and they are called augers.....we are silly like that) we now have a nice collection...heading off to the pool one last time before heading back to the real world ♥ it was a beautiful weekend at "Our Whit's End"

You know when your kids have watched Pirates of the Caribbean too many times when the one quote they remember is "Curiosity.....you're going to want to know what it tastses like" and if you ask them can you quote another "why is all the rum gone"! oyvay!

It was 6:30 AM when I hear SHRILLS from the boys that a Leprechaun had struck their toy room.....they had set a trap (a mason jar with a fake gold coin, with a little ladder leading up from a playmobil bed that they thought he would rest in) Green milk, lucky charms and we didn't catch our Leprechaun.....but what fun their morning was!!!

I have to give credit to their 4 year old preschool teacher who did this for her class every year....it was a great way for the kids to work as a team sorting and cleaning up the room while getting rid of things that they no longer played with. And Liz gave me the idea for green milk last night :) The boys have told everyone about almost catching a Leprechaun!!!
