Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentines Day!
I knew my hubby wasn’t going to have time this week to go to the mall and wait in line to get my favorite chocolate…. so when I was there getting my girls some clothes…
Is it wrong I told her to gift wrap it… even though it’s for me?
But it’s so much better to open the wrapping and see that box…
yummm… I guess I should share….
Here…. I’ll eat this one just for you….
And maybe I’ll get in one or two more before my two year old and hubby with their sweet tooths discover it… : )
And I have to say I love my hubby, even when he drives me crazy, lets the kids eat too much licorice, doesn’t have time to get my favorite chocolate for v day, and fidgets more than anyone in the history of the world.  I’m grateful for such a great husband who loves me and his daughter’s more than anything, and proves it by how he treats us.
Thanks Honey! We love ya!

Come ere….

February 7, 2010 by

“Come ere, come ere, come ere” she says softly, wrapping her arms around me.
Her words like thick syrup, coating my hungry heart.
“I wuv you…I WUV you!”  She lets me hug her extra-tight, just how she likes. 

I know she is repeating the words from the story she likes.  Does it matter? Those words…THOSE words…  how long I waited to hear those words.  Even if she doesn’t fully understand them, she’s saying them.  She only started saying “I love you” about 6 months ago. After she turned 6 years old. 
Every time she says it, I just want time to stand still.

How my heart ached when I first saw her tiny hands… how I instantly knew I would have to be her fierce protector. 
And now, to be able to hear her say “mommy” again, and “I love you” regularly… It makes everything worth it.  Not to mention that she actually seems to LIKE affection now.  There was a time Amelia wouldn’t let anyone hardly touch her, let alone hug her. 
Amelia is one amazing girl… who happens to have autism.  But autism is definetely not the most important thing about her.
