HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON

My sweet little boy turned 3 on March 1st! 3 can you believe it? I sure can't. A lot has happened in the past year with Mason and I am just so thankful for him. Since Mason really dosen't like parties we decided to take him to Kalahari for his birthday. Mimi & Pappa wanted to send him there as their gift. Best decision ever. He had the best time. It's been along time since I have seen him that happy :) Happy 3rd Birthday Mason! Mommy loves you so much. My life is better because of you XOXO

Prayers for Lucy!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a minute to read this sweet families blog! There little girl Lucy is fighting the biggest battle of her little life. They could use all the prayers they can get!

Mason's Walk!!!!!!

I am so excited to announce the first ever Mason's Walk-A 5K Run/Walk for Childhood Apraxia!!!!! Mason's walk will take place on Sunday September 25, 2011 at Osborn Park. I am so thrilled and honored to be planning this in honor of Mason and all the kids who are affected by Apraxia. There is not enough awarness or attention on Apraxia. This is just our small way to educate ourcommunity on Appraxia. All proceeds will benefit CASANA where they research and educate parents, therapist and communities about Apraxia. If you feel at moved to participate or donate please do or if you know of anyone that might want to participate of dontate please forwarded it to them. Please visit Masons Walk at:

Purple

Who knew that such a simple and common word that we never think twice about when we say it could be such an emotional word to me! Tonight Mason was coloring and looked at me and said "purple." My eyes filled with tears. The joy on his face was so precious! He was SO proud of himself and so was I. These are the moments that I realize how serious apraxia is and how much we take for granted the ability to be able to speak.

Where Have We Been?

Geez, where have we been lately! Honeslty I have been really trying to focus on Mason the last few weeks. I have been on the phone everyday with someone about either therapy or grants or the insurance company. We finally found a local place for him to receive his speech and occupational therapy. He is going to be going to Firelands Hospital Pediatric Therapy Group. We met with his two therapist on Friday and we LOVED them! Mason really liked them too which is the most important part.

I have also been working on cordinating "Mason's Walk." A 5k walk/run for Childhood Apraxia. I am really excited about it! It is something that is very close to my heart (for obvious reasons)and I am really passionate about raising awarness and being a voice for Mason. So more to come on that later. I will keep everyone in the loop.

So I am going to try and blog a little more often. I thinks it's important to docuement Mason's journey as well as everything that is going on with our family :)
