Day 333 | AUGUST 09, 2022

Good evening, Friends. Today is day 333 of our new and fantastic life! I am happy to report that I am seeing good progress on Julien’s sleep pattern, I know it is a little soon to celebrate, but he has been waking up right at 7 am, and I am praying that continues because it works perfectly with our morning routine. Charlie had a good day; in the morning, one of her good friends came over for a play date, the kids had a blast, and Charlie could catch up with her friend. I had a morning meeting, but I was home at noon, in time to take London and Charlie to the post office; we had an appointment to renew London's passport. London and I will attend my sister's wedding in Brazil in the fall; he is excited to travel again. After the passport appointment, we went to have lunch at Chipotle, One of Charlie's favorites; today was the first time that we had an outing with no Aid for Charlie, just us as a family; I can't even begin to express how amazing it was, the sense of normalcy, the freedom to be just us, it is incredible how much joy, the little things can bring, we ended our outing with Ice Cream from Ben and Jerry! London and his mommy love Ice Cream! We had a delicious dinner brought to us by one of our incredibly generous supporters; I am still amazed at how much our community has supported us! We are so grateful!! After Dinner, it was time to play with the boys, and Charlie is now back at reading to both boys before bed; we do book time in the living room with Charlie, and I take the boys to bed upstairs afterward. Slowly we are creating our little routine. Days like these give me hope; even before Charlie regains her mobility, we can see a glimpse of normalcy, and the future is starting to look better and better. I continue to pray and ask God for strength, but I also thank him for his abundant blessings. I couldn't resist reminding you that today is #NationalBookLoversDay, and It would be the perfect day to order your copy of our book, I Almost Lost Her - A memoir of unthinkable tragedy! You can buy the paper copy on our website or the kindle version on Amazon. We appreciate your support. Have a good night, and May God Bless You! André
