...And My Heart Goes Out To...

LANEY:

Thanks everyone for your kind comments regarding Miss Laney.

This is today. Lunch. Henry and I visited.

Yep, she's still sporting crocodile tears at times.

Her teacher said she sees this a bit, but only lasts a few minutes.

She assured me that Laney is fine, and I believe her.

So hard walking the fine line of empathy...wanting to heal Laney's heart...

and giving too much attention to the situation.

Well, cousin Madison and Laney were clearly happy to have me join their lunch table today!

EMILY:

Ate lunch with her too.

Just had a total realization hit me while eating with my 3rd grader.

She's like her dad.

Her emotions don't smack you in the face right when you see her.

(Unlike Laney, Henry and me.)

She doesn't dwell, is in the moment and just enjoys.

I want to be more like my 8...almost 9 year old.

OSCAR:

He just showed up late summer.

Initially, I named him Oatmeal Cookie.

Looked quite yummy and sweet...with that color of fur and all.

Although he is quite a love bug...Mr. Meow hisses at Sacco.

Also beat the cat outta George a few weeks ago when George accidentally got out.

So, Oscar the crabby kitty he is.He is on my WORRY LIST.

It's getting colder.

I've made him a make-shift house...blanket, roof over his head.

He gets fed morning and night.

He greet me at the garage door...like a lonely, lost soul.

Sometimes at night, after the kids are tucked in....

I'll take a blanket, wrap Oscar up...and sit with him...all cuddled up in my lap.... on the garage steps.

He purrs and kneads his paws.

He's a very good listener too.

I tell him about my day.

I also tell him how handsome he is.

And I always get a meow from him when he hears that!

I'm just hoping that Oscar the cat doesn't try anything on my other neighbors.

Meet neighbor #1....and his sidekick, neighbor #2.

I hate the fact that Mr. Oscar doesn't have a home.

I'm thinking George doesn't share my same feelings.

HENRY:

Told him yesterday that he was going to go ride his horse!

Little dude went and grabbed his two BFF's....horses!

Held them the whole hour drive to therapy.

Henry sure does love horse therapy.
And he has a leg up on other kids his own age...

he does his own stunts...

make that two legs up!

I stood outside the arena taking pictures.

I could hear everything.

Henry sang, laughed and talked...

the.entire.session!

Zippy the horse...neighed and snorted at Henry.

I think Zippy gets a kick outta my guy!

So ya, my heart always has a place for all of the above.

Put them all together...and WOW!...now that's a happy heart filler right there!

The loves of my life...

but my heart also goes out to these beauties....just a bity Xmas wishing!
