The story of a hot chaplain, a not-so-normal chaplain's wife, and two wildly beautiful offspring. Oh, and a little autism on the side:)

Words.
Words from Bella's mouth take my breath away. Here are few we caught on video. She doesn't speak much unless asked (or coerced), however she can literally say any word. I found her with some picture cards the other night. She picked up each one and named them off without me prompting her:)
I know it doesn't seem like a big deal for a 3.5 year old to say words like "ice cream" or name off shapes, but to us... her words are tiny miracles. They fill Josh and I with hope and joy.
This is huge, Annie! I have friends from church who have a 13 year old granddaughter with autism and I have personally been able to witness her progress. It is cause for rejoicing! She is beautiful just like Bella!
That is beautiful music, Annie! Hurray for Bella and her accomplishments!!!
