<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's hard to believe that our summer has passed and I'm sharing yet another school year beginning. It seems like yesterday that I was pouring my eyes out as K started her kindergarten year and yet the same emotional mama showed her face again as her first grade rolled in. Well, it happened again...although this time it wasn't until I got home and realized that my spunky girl was off to second grade! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">On the night before school, her teacher sent home a magical pouch of "jitter glitter". It's said to put you fast asleep and help you wake up fresh and ready for your first day of school...it worked like a charm! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Today was a BIG or should I say monumental day! Miss K embarked on her very first solo plane ride! Just for clarification purposes, this means BY HERSELF! Miss K's brave spirit overshadowed my moments of uncertainty. She had no hesitation, no fear, and no doubts...she was ready for her adventure into St. Louis to spend time with her Granny and Granpy. </span></div>

If I'm being honest, I wasn't sure if I was quite ready for this. Yet, I'm not sure if I would ever be truly ready! This summer marks the first time Kennedy will travel to see her grandparents alone and my hopes is that this is something we can continue to do with our children. The moments that will be shared are truly priceless! </span></div>

Every year that passes, I'm reminded of how quickly these days go! I welcome her independence yet cling to her innocence.

Our house has always been a place where paint and glue are welcomed and encouraged! She has used her gift in many ways and her time to shine came this past weekend. One of her pieces was chosen to be part of the Mount Vernon Art Show that featured artists from five local schools! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">On March 31st, we are participating in the National Walk for Epilepsy in DC! We have teamed up with other families that have children on the ketogenic diet for epilepsy in order to bring awareness and hope to the thousands of people affected by epilepsy. Landon's life has been filled with challenges; however, we know that his life is for a great purpose. It is through his story that we can give other families and individuals the hope, the possibilities, and the chance for healing. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

This year we decided to stay home and be in the moment of Christmas. While I love the anticipation of traveling, there is something to be said for being home. It allowed us to create our own traditions which in turn created an atmosphere of wonder, excitement, and peace. We were lucky enough to have Papa Raftery, Auntie Evie, and Uncle Joe join us which truly put the icing on the cake! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />

A song of triumph, a song of praise, and a song of God's amazing love. Landon is celebrating 12 weeks of seizure freedom...12 weeks off medications! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She was writing to let me know that her and Granny Smith were putting a team together in honor of Landon at the 2011 Walk for Children with Apraxia of Speech in Kansas City. They spent a month raising money and putting together an amazing event to honor our beautiful son along with the countless other children who have Apraxia of Speech. Granny Smith designed a Thomas the Train tent which had our pictures in the windows that allowed us to be there "in spirit". They also brought along a makeshift "Dixie" with wheels attached to symbolize Landon's horse back home. They went above and beyond anything I could have imagined and I'm SO very blessed to call them family! Thank you to all who have supported this cause that affects so many children worldwide and challenges our beautiful boy on a daily basis. We love you! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

One of those things happens to be this sweet blog. I'll never forget when my friend Beth introduced me to the world of blogging - I was a bit skeptical at first but now it truly is a love of mine. It has been an outlet, a diary, a poem, a story, a treasure...an opportunity to share a piece of our world with the ones we love. This season in our lives has dealt many challenges - challenges that have left me learning a lesson in priorities. A good lesson indeed! I haven't neglected our blog because I can't find the time. I've taken a break because my needs and the needs of my family have taken the "first in line" spot. With all that being said, I have lots to update!!!! </span></span><br />

</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Landon is doing well...he's a month into the ketogenic diet a.k.a "the magic diet". During the first two weeks of initiating the diet, we saw our little miracle that we had desperately prayed for - two weeks seizure free! It was amazing to witness our son literally coming back to us...speech, motor skills, sensory issues, clarity, sleep were all improving and we were in awe of it all! I wanted to blog about his progress and the miracle that we were witnessing but I wanted to be careful and guard our hearts. I knew the thousands of stories before ours...stories of victory, stories of defeat, and stories of the in between. In the past two weeks Landon has had 4 seizures; however, we are not defeated. We are trusting that God has all of this in His hands - it's in Him that we find rest! I have to remind myself that it is not MY will but His will! While there is a small percentage that are seizure free from the beginning, it is more common to have some breakthrough seizures during the initial few weeks. We are now on day 8 without any recent seizures and I pray that our little guy continues to benefit from this amazing diet...I am so proud of his progress so far! He is so so strong!</span></span><br />

Always going with the flow of our busy life. He brings smiles to my day - his little dimples melt my heart:) He too is growing before our eyes! Nolan is our little chatter box - mama, dada, all done, and no are some of his favs. He has mastered cruising around furniture and everything in between...a man on a mission indeed! I love watching his little personality blossom - sweet, funny, and full of energy! Did I mention he's giving us sweet kisses now - oh how I loves those so!!!</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our neurologist has referred us to the Johns Hopkins Ketogenic Diet Program (the top Keto program in the nation!!!) The Ketogenic Diet dates back almost 80 years ago and shows promisingly results for children like Landon where medication is not effective in controlling seizures. The diet itself, consists of high fats, adequate proteins, and low carbohydrates - each meal prepared for him will be carefully measured, weighed, and planned. Typically,children are placed on this diet for two years in hopes of becoming completely seizure free. We are very optimistic and feel like God has put this in our path for a great purpose! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

He will be admitted at Johns Hopkins for 4 days where Landon will be weaned off of his anti-seizure meds and placed on this new diet. During our stay, we will be educated and trained on how to implement this diet while Landon is carefully monitored during his transition. I'm overjoyed at the thought of Landon "off meds" and becoming seizure free! The story's I've found on other Keto kids have been awe inspiring and have given us hope - hope for Landon to enjoy this life to his FULL potential!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="VRSONE" style="line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 25px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
