Lucy’s exciting acceptance into the FBC summer program
We have some big news to share. Something we have really, really been praying for: Lucy’s exciting acceptance into the FBC summer program.
Lucy learns a pretty great way to play the piano
Vision loss makes it really difficult to play the piano. My sister taught Lucy a great way to start playing piano by ear.
a big miracle for Lucy
The other day I was thinking about miracles. And their evolution. Remember how Lucy’s vision teachers took special care to enlarge her homework worksheets like this? Lucy is holding one measly worksheet enlarged into a novel up there. It wasn’t a cakewalk for those teachers to do all that enlarging, especially when they had to…
Lucy’s big Christmas concert weekend
Oh there is so much I want to write about. How is it possible that Christmas was only a few days ago?? But since I am wrapped up with my family for a few more days, and so grateful for this time I get with them, for now here’s a post I wrote before Christmas…

And any type of awareness about syndromes is incredibly helpful because: Awareness = Care = HOPE. More awareness brings more doctors and researchers to the scene. Connects people. And yes, makes you…
Lucy’s concert and carrying our own, unique lights
Tomorrow hopefully I’ll get to post about Elle and Carson’s sealing at the temple (loved it so much). But for today let’s talk about Lighting the World (in continuation from the last post and our fav. Christmas tradition…something else I love so much). And how Lucy and her choir sure did just that at their…
