March 15th

It has been a long time since I have posted.  Our visit with Macy was a reality that she will still have RAD when she comes home.  Her desire to have control of everything is stronger then her desire to come home.  Good news is that she is attaching to us and sincerely misses us, but she still has a lot of work to do.  She has been doing better the past month and we believe is finally making big changes.  We hope that she will keep it up.   The past 6 weeks  have been busy.  We had a fundraiser over Valentines that was a enormous success.  I baked 51 dozen cupcakes.  Took all weekend prior to V day to bake them.  Big thanks to my good friend Nanete who helped me frost all 600+ cupcakes.  Thanks Nanete!  I have also been busy helping other RAD moms, giving them a break.  There is something about the change in season that brings the worst out of these kids.  The family is doing well.  We are all healing and preparing for Macy's return.  We are loving the warm weather finally and getting ready for evenings of lacrosse and soccer.  Thanks for your support and friendship.  Happy Spring!
