hi katie! my name is mandy and i'm your new friend katie's best friend. i just wanted to say hello and tell you just how excited i am that you and katie got hooked up. she started her blog just for this reason and she will be such a great resource for you. she is a great person to vent to (i do it every day!!) and i know you will just love her. your baby girl is beautiful!! just from reading your blog i can tell what a great mommy you are. like you said, thank god for the internet. i look forward to reading more about sweet lilah!
Katie, I am so glad that you have made a connection through the internet to someone who can relate exactly to what you are going through with Lilah. The internet is a wonderful resource and a huge blessing.
About the 'what not to say' post. I guess I am the opposite. I always wish people would say things about Elisabeth, or that they would ask questions. I want people to know about her disabilities and to be able to help everyone understand that it's ok to talk about. But people NEVER say a word about her. NEVER EVER. When we are out in public it is like she doesn't exist and I think it's because people are afraid to hurt my feelings.
Anyways, that's OK. I love her no matter what people do or do not say :)
By the way, I am going to send you an email later and tell you a little more about the dual language program. You should push to get a program started like that in your district. :)
Hi Katie - I am Maddy's "grammy" from Tulsa Oklahoma - I just cried and cried when reading your words as I remembered our own journey. We are strong belivers in Christ and will now add you to our prayer list. What a beautiful family. We really don't have any idea the wonderful life God has planned...........but we do get a glimpse when we look at our babies. Cindi Hemm
