GrandmaLa & Maddox enjoying a relaxing summer day together...

There is a quote that says you can't move forward until you know your past. As some of you may know my wonderful mom has been staying with us this summer. It has given us a wonderful opportunity to really connect, develop a stronger relationship, and to really understand each other at our points in our lives. I think we have both grown from these moments that we have shared together. We have laughed together, cried in movies together, shared huge hugs together, and most of all enjoyed spending time with Maddox.
Our lives are amazing in so many ways because of Maddox and one of many ways he has brought joy in our lives is by bringing so many of us together. GrandmaLa (Mom) has really enjoyed spending every hour by bonding, playing, and communicating with her grandson. He grows more and more each day with each sign he learns watching us use sign language everyday. As much as Mom loves spending time here with us we love it even more. She brightens up our home and makes it feel so inviting just like a ray of sunshine. It's been a great time for all of us to get to know one another...renew our relationships....and look to the future for many wonderful years ahead. Here are three pictures of GrandmaLa (Mom) and Maddox today...
