A few days ago I was walking with Tony through one of our local parks, when I spotted a group of Monarch butterflies hanging down from the tips of some flowering plants like amber crystals from a chandelier. I instantly thought about how much Hannah would have loved to see that (she was in school), and I began trying as quickly as possible to get anything that even remotely approached a credible picture of the moment for her before Tony chose to try and walk of after loosing patience with waiting. And, I didn’t want to scare too many of the butterflies into flight so that the moment was lost. Trying to juggle so many elements with a phone camera that isn’t the best and still get pictures that were recognizably butterfly enough to share with her was a bit of challenge.

Some moments are easier to document then others. And sometimes, attempts to document anything should be put on hold for a while for the sake of everyone in the family- myself included. As previously mentioned last month, the we are now at a time where owing to the current needs of myself and my family, I will be taking a month off of writing for our blog. The current planned return date is October 15th…ish. We may need wiggle room of an additional week or two depending on circumstances. When I return, I will resume posting initially with previously planned content about the ABA planning and meeting process. I appreciate each of you who are not part of the immediate family in advance for your understanding and patience in this matter. Wishing you the best of health and safety, <3 Ariana
