It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

It's a grand thing to be a parent of a parent--that's why we call them Grandparents.

Meghan had a four hour neuro-psychological evaluation today to get a baseline so she received no therapy today. Therefore she was not physically tired, so.........
We went to the Ronald McDonald House with Grandma and Grandad for a game of Yahtzee.

After our game, they took us to a Thai Restaurant in Brookline that was fabulous. It was so nice to not eat hospital food for a night. When we got back to Spaulding, Maria, our nurse said, "Meghan, when you are here you order broccoli and chicken with ketchup. What did you order at a Thai restaurant?" Meghan grinned and responded, "Chicken and broccoli in oyster sauce!"

    Meghan,

    At least you are getting in a few of the different sauce groups with your chicken and broccoli. Next you should try my favorite sauce - HOT sauce!

    See, Meghan? It doesn't matter how good or bad a cook I am as hot sauce goes on everything Uncle Jason eats! Flavor is irrevelant. So, if you get to like hot sauce, you're set--bring on all that green juice!

    How goes the "mental therapy" today?! We love and pray for you. Enjoy Gram and Gramps--your grandad was funny--after driving my van, he mentioned exactly how I feel about it--a dangerous vehicle, as the suspension is so smooth that you're going 55 in a 35 mph zone without even feeling it!

    Tickets here I come--yikes!!!

    love, Aunt Ginger
