Daniel has a birthday soon

Today is November 15 and in 7 days Daniel will be turning 13! Its hard to believe how far we have come. Sarah is also turning 15 on the 20th....two years, and two days apart. Saturday was so great, because I took Daniel to the Brookfield Y for swimming in the therapy pool. It was so much fun to see him back in the water.... even though I have to play Mom and Therapist...John was there to help and it made the experience really special.

I'm having a tough time as me...because financially, working is tough given how much I have to do...its frustrating, and frightening...because Daniel's needs are so great. As well as the normal expenses with a home and family. I would still be in a full time role...but things are so complicated...I feel like a crazy rabbit one day, and a caged bird another.

But Daniel is smiling and healthy today...and I know that God has a plan for what we learn through this journey. I can't wait for his birthday... I will officially have two teenagers in my house!!!
