Making strides in Miami

What an awesome weekend!
Friday evening with a little grilling out, beers and hanging out with some family.
Yesterday and today we spent having new adventures, and I am proud of Jason and I 
It can be hard, taking the twins an Liam out to social events. Simply put, the twins are 2. Plus there are 2 of them. lol Also Liam can be hard to manage at times. He is autistic, and also he's 4 and spoiled. (i can own that. Its a work in progress :D).
So, we have spent the last few years not really doing as much as we would have in the past. not going very many places except the "comfortable spots" like local parks and such.
But the hermit life is not for us (def not for me!) and we have made a conscious effort to push past the fears/anxieties and reservations since we have been here.
I recently reached out Parent to Parent of Miami and got a ton of local resources and helpful info. We spent yesterday afternoon at their P2P Miami picnic, which was awesome! I got to meet my support specialist, Michelle and she and everyone made us feel so welcome. P2P is such an awesome community of people. It was located at a beautiful shady park close by. The kids loved the playground, and they had a petting zoo. All i need to say. lol
Today, we decided to check out the Atlantis Academy 2014 Spring Concert, and we had a blast. The kids took over the jump houses, Liam was in jumphouse heaven, going from one to the other and by the end of it the were all drenched in sweat with huge smiles on their faces. jason and i got our food truck eats on and we hung out for a few hours.
Oh, and in between it all, we received a large box yesterday. Inside? A stuffed penguin for Liam. PEN-MA! BayBee PENMA!
He fell asleep last night with one arm wrapped around its neck.
Thank you Papa. 
Now its kiddie pool/sprinkler time, chicken tacos for dinner and spending the rest of the day just chilling. I am not cleaning a damn thing today, ha! ....I think this probably needed to be more of blog post. haha oh well P.s. I love Miami

  2. Because screw AWARENESS. I think we are ALL pretty AWARE at this point. Lets get some PREVENTION happening for our kids, and for those already affected some HEALING and SUPPORT that isnt almost completely out of pocket for their caregivers.
