Most of our friends know that Juergen and I take turns going to church on Sunday mornings, and caring for our autistic daughter Jessica. Today I took Jess out for breakfast at McDonalds. She likes to sit in the restaurant when there are not so many people there. She watches the TV monitors that show music videos. And she eats her salad and chicken. We sit for a whole hour and she holds my hand. She is getting very social lately. I'm sure the fact that it is warm and sunny helps allot. She hates winter as much as I do. I dream of taking her to Thailand for a month or more. I know it would be so good for her to soak up all that lovely sunshine, eat the good food and swim every day. The light is so different there. But Thailand is expensive (at least the airfare is expensive). We are painting the house this year. I'm not even sure we will take a vacation. We will just have to see.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
