Play-off game

Keith was given tickets on Thursday for Saturday's Rangers vs. Tampa Bay play-off game. To say Keith was excited is an understatement. He LOVES baseball!!

For the non-Ranger fans, this is the first time the Rangers have made the play-offs in the 11 years I've lived here. They won the first two games in Florida so we were hoping for a win to sweep the series. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Here are some highlights of our day:

Here are the tickets! We had good seats which makes watching a game enjoyable (for me)


I've never seen Ranger fans this excited as they were introducing the starting line-up! ;)
(Coach Washington, Elvis Andrus, Michael Young and Josh Hamilton)




Fireworks after Ian Kinsler's homerun



The last time the scoreboard looked pretty for the Rangers



One of our favorite Ranger players: Josh Hamilton




Never seen a crowd this big at a game before...there were over 51, 000!



This was the point we were ready to leave... sadly the score got worse, ending 6-3 Tampa Bay



This was a redeeming part of the night...see the first row?? The gray haired man on the right? That's President George W. Bush! :) He's a big Rangers fan. Two seats over to the left from him is Nolan Ryan. We weren't this close, I just have a pretty good zoom on my camera! We were in their section though. :)


Tomorrow night is the last game of the series. Rangers won the first 2 games, TB won the 2nd 2 games. It's anyone's game tomorrow night! GO RANGERS!!! We'll be cheering them on from Keller, TX!! :)

Autism Awareness Day

It's hard to believe this is our 10th Autism Awareness Day. Ironically, I also sat in EK's annual ARD this morning. To be honest, life is so busy right now that I haven't had time to think much about this day approaching. Maybe that's good. When I have too much time to think about how autism has changed our family's life, I sometimes get discouraged. When EK was first diagnosed in February 2009, we thought that if we got her in the right therapies, she'd start Kindergarten in a mainstream classroom. That was our goal and early on, it seemed doable. We changed her diet (which by the way, I don't regret at all. I truly believe it's helped her to be the happy child she is.), we did occupational therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy, vitamins/supplements, school preschool program for kids with autism and many other things. Fast forward a few years  and we saw no real improvements. In fact, she stopped talking a few months before her 4th birthday. Those begin...

3 days in a row...

EK started back to preschool on Monday morning. After 2 weeks off for Christmas break, I was a little nervous about how sad she'd be when I dropped her off and how long it'd take her to get back in the routine. When I picked her up on Monday, I was SO relieved to hear that she hardly fussed that morning. She was happy all morning long! She participated in music therapy by playing the guitar. She worked on fine motor tasks with her teacher and she colored with a marker! This last thing is a BIG deal. For some reason, the past 6 months or so, she would NOT hold a writing utensil. I'm not sure if it's because I used to tell her constantly to not put it in her mouth or if it became a sensory thing or a control thing. Whatever the reason, she just wouldn't even try to hold a marker, pen, crayon, etc. If you put it in her hand, she'd drop it or throw it. We literally had to firmly hold her hand around the writing utensil to keep it in her hand long enough to scribble ...

3 months ago today...

Most of you who are reading this know what our family is going through right now. It was 3 months ago today that we took EK to a developmental pediatrician. We left there with a diagnosis of autism. Even though we knew it was coming, it was tough to swallow. We've done so much research, reading books, searching on the internet, and talking with those who've been down the same road. There is so much information out there. We're trying to be proactive and do all we can to help her live a normal life and I'm praying like I've never prayed before. She's still our sweet 3 year old daugher, our firstborn. Her diagnosis doesn't change our love for her. I'm not even sure it changes our dreams for her. We know that God is able to completely heal her, but regardless of the outcome, we know that our God has a plan for her that will bring Him glory. I'm so thankful to be the mama to EK and AC. They are such sweet blessings, even on the hard days. :)
