| Our Blended Family |
On Sunday, Dad and Abbie treated our whole blended family to brunch at a place that has a wonderful view of the mountains.

| The View |
It's such an amazing testament to Dad, Mom and Abbie that we are able to be together--all of us--and truly enjoy each other's company. We care about each other, we watch out for each other, and we work very hard to make the best of having an adult child with illness in the family. Since Jeannine and I grew up together, she fits right in with both of my parents and with Abbie.
When Mom redid the basement, Abbie kept telling her how happy she was for Mom for doing this for herself. In these moments, I tear up because I know how very fortunate I am that all three of my parents are able to put aside their differences in order to have the best relationship with me.

Abbie surprised me with an awesome birthday gift: she dyed part of her hair blue too! She is supporting both breast cancer and dysautonomia this month. Such a meaningful gift! And she rocks the look too!

| Making My Same Wish! |
We celebrated my birthday again--this time with Dad and Abbie singing--with the other half of the gluten-free pumpkin cake.
All of this good food over the weekend may explain my post-birthday gastroparesis flare which has been a major bummer this week.

| Perfect Day |
We decided to take advantage of the perfect weather and scenery to snap a few pics of our wonderfully blended family.
Thank you Dad and Abbie for the birthday treat! I had such a special birthday this year!
Blessings,
Emily
