Lillian’s gratitude for today:

I am thankful for going over to Mammaw and Pappaw Romano’s house tonight.

Thomas’ gratitude for today:

I’m thankful and grateful for funny pictures.

Kymberlee Simantel … Today I am grateful for YOU and the leap you took 7 years ago. A leap that led to the thriving eWomenNetwork Reno/Carson/Tahoe/Vegas/Sierra Nevadas Chapter chapter that we all enjoy and benefit from today.

That night in July 2007 when I attended my first event, I knew I had arrived home. I’m forever and deeply grateful to you for the space you created, the strength and courage you exhibited, the love shared, the smiles, the DANCING and the WINE!!!

Your essence is forever etched into my heart … LOVE you to pieces lady! (Picture of us at the eWn Conference in July 2008 and this past April 2012)

So much fun!!!! eWomenNetwork Holiday Extravaganza!!!!

Thomas chose sushi for dinner and then we made the cake. I must have been so giddy (or so tired) that I put 1 cup too much water in the mix. Only realized it when I put it in the oven. I thought if looked way to runny. Oops!!

Took it out and added coconut flour, almond flour, another egg, more vanilla, more coconut sugar, and some cocoa. I was thinking at least it would cook and be solid even if it didn’t taste good (Lillian was on the verge of a meltdown due to my oops moment). Turned out yummy and meltdown averted! YAY!!

Full day of getting ready for Thomas’ birthday party, then a small intimate party with his best friend with an absolutely yummilicious chocolate cake with creme cheese frosting, and ending with a quick trip to the park to walk the labyrinth. Great day!!

Thomas birthday party adventures at The Romano Casa! Pizza, salad, itty bitty cake with a fun dance party as the finale! Thank you Romano Duo … Team TLC loves y’all!

Thomas’ class birthday celebration was yesterday. The kids sit in a circle with the birthday child in the center and take turns asking questions. Thomas was asked which person he liked best and who is his best friend. He answered that his sister was his favorite person and that at home his best friends are his Mom and sister. At the conclusion he got to blow out the candle. Then all the students take time to write at least three complements for the birthday person! So cool! BONUS! I got to meet and hold the tortoises …. Shelly and Charger! So darn cute!

Happy 8th Birthday Thomas (11.13.13) … Thomas’ 8th year of life begins tomorrow. There are hardly words to describe what this young man with his wise soul have brought into my life. I am blessed daily by his presence, his love, his wisdom and his humor. I LOVE that I get to be his mentor and his mother and that HE gets to be my mentor and son!

Team TLC is off to The Romano Casa for some Spooktacular fun! BOO!

Once a fairy princess, always a fairy princess. Thomas was dressed as “Happy”! Close up picture to follow.

Wahoo from the fairy princess and get your happy on from Thomas dressed as “Happy”. All the treat givers loved Thomas’ home made costume! He almost had me in tears. He was putting candy he collected back into the empty bowls at houses where no one was home. I give away most of what they get, yet they have tons of fun with the anticipation and creating their costumes.

Happy Halloween from a blurry Team TLC. Looks like my phone has been drinking.

Lots of LOVE and JOY from Team TLC this Halloween 2013 …. I’m in these pictures dressed as the invisible Mama! BOO and hugs!
