My Baby Rides The Short Bus: The Unabashedly Human Experience of Raising Kids with Disabilities - adding this book to my "to read" list. 

Thanks so much for all of the baby news congrats! We are very, very excited (while also a tad nervous because three kids, age three and under)! A few baby details coming later, but for now here are a few pictures from the last few days. . .

We were invited to a birthday party at Giggles and Fun last weekend. Such a fun indoor space for kids to play! Camille was LOVING the itty bitty slide. . .

Clara has been practicing holding a cup with no handles. She's not 100% there, but making a little progress each time we practice. I just love her little face in these pictures. . .

Tonight we are going to see Temple Grandin speak LIVE at a church near our house. Y'all. . . I cannot tell you how excited I am! If you are in the special needs world, you have probably heard of her. If not, look her up!! She is one amazing woman that has taken her disability and moved mountains. She still actively lives with Autism, but she does not let her struggles hold her down. She is an author of several books, and a movie was made in honor of her inspiring story (Claire Daines played her role!). 

Have a great weekend!
