We're Baaaaaack! (for many reasons this time!)

For those new to this blog, this was our communication tool for many periods throughout Mason's life.  This was our avenue to communicate to family near and wide during some of the struggles we've faced with Mason's medical complications - from the early struggles of learning about his chromosomal deletion to gaining weight and his heart surgery, and later learning about his brain disorder.  We discontinued after the first two years and brought it back when we were undergoing the decision to implant a pump to better control his muscle spasticity.  Looking back at that, it seems like nothing.  Every time something hard came up, we persevered.  We learned, we grew and our support system of family and friends helped us through it. We are so, so happy to report that the last 2 years have been full of many amazing moments with our family!  Mason is happy, healthy, growing and learning so much!  Other than minor colds and infections, Mason is growing and is already an amazing 60 lbs and 50 inches tall!

I can't even recap all the amazing things that have happened the last two years so I'll jump right to the main reason we're bringing back the blog....

"When you wish upon a star...makes no difference who you are...."

We are blessed, humbled and excited to share with everyone the news that Mason is going to be the recipient of a "wish" through the Make a Wish Foundation.  I've shared this news on snapchat and facebook with many, but my goal with the blog is to share with you all the journey we're lucky enough to go on and the process we're going through to get to the point of this amazing trip.  I don't want to look back on this blog and only see the hard times, I want to be able to reflect on the amazing times and this is absolutely one of those.

The WISH is not the only thing we should be sharing!  We have so many awesome things we're doing these days and I want to share it all.  This is our way to reflect on our many, many blessings.  Also, in a strange way, this is relaxing to me.  I actually really enjoy writing this blog and sharing times like this with you.

Often times life gets busy and we forget to take time to reflect.  My hope for bringing the blog back is that I will inspire one of you, if not many of  you, to do the same.  Touch base with old friends.  Make plans and reflect on your experiences.  Share your joys and your hardships.  We're all in this world together...let's enjoy it together!  Let's reconnect and catch up!

Much love to all,
Jen
