Welcome to my life

I hope that you enjoy reading about my life and things that go on in my world. I pray that my thoughts are encouraging and uplifting to you in some way. If I happen to have a day when things are not always so pleasant, please, I ask forgiveness ahead of time for being such a wet blanket. May God bless you richly.

Who am I?

I am a Christian woman trying to be the best I can be for the Lord. I am the wife of a wonderful Christian husband (Matt) of 20 years. I am the mother of five children. Three wonderfully sweet boys, Sean age 17, Joshua age 13, and Nathaniel age 4. On December 2, 2015 we adopted 16 twins Chris and Destiny. God and my family are the most important things in my life.

New Role

I've taken on a new role as speech therapist in our house. Joshua has been having problems with pronouncing the /th/ sound for quite a while.  I was hoping it might correct itself over time but it has not.  So now on a daily basis we will be having speech therapy.

One of the first things I need to do is determine which sound he is not articulating.  The voiced /th/ as in the word the or the unvoiced /th/ sound as in the word thanks.  Also, I need to determine if he is having problems with /th/ initial words, /th/ medial words, or /th/ final words.

Now, whether or not I can do this on my own without enlisting the help of a professional is yet to be determined.  I remember going to speech therapy in elementary for not being able to pronounce the \r\ sound.  So, I know the routine a little and there is tons of information on-line and some great books out there.  We will see what happens.
