Charlotte's Birthday missed the Corona Virus Shut down by one Week!!!
We were blessed to be able to watch her finish the play that she practiced so hard for and then got to have her huge BIRTHDAY BASH!!
March 7
Happy 16th Birthday to this marvelous girl!! 
She’s been waiting a long time for this day
I’m seriously so proud of all she has done thus far in her life with all the challenges with her body she has had to overcome!! She has embraced the fact that she has a disease/cerebral palsy. 
As a mother I am overjoyed with the fact that she uses her disabilities as a strength rather than a weakness. 
I never hear her complain. She just jumps to the next exciting thing and runs with it! It’s hard, but she is determined. I love her and am so proud of her!! Getting ready to party with her Sweet 16th Party tonight and all her amazing friends 
Good luck in the play 
Happiest of birthdays to my fun loving Charlotte
She is a friend to so many 
Happy Birthday to my little beauty!! Such a fun lovin’ hilarious girl!! 
Kalicia's choir trip snuck in too, right before everything shut down, including school!

...On a beautiful Spring Windy Day, the kids had a little homeschooling outside; P.E. #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #everyonehappierandhealthier #cerebralpalsyhackedMarch 28, 2020
What a fun day! 
These kids got creative and found an exciting way to Quarantine
They still had MORP~ FUN outdoor activities, kept the 6 ft. distancing 
and continually washed 
Great Memories 
Charlotte’s first date
I am so excited about this!
All Faiths
the world 
coming together to fast and pray Spread the Word
PRAYERS AND FASTING today. I was so filled with JOY when my daughter came to me and said “Mom, I’m so excited to fast, because the whole world is doing it together.” #everyonehappierandhealthier #playunified #prayunified #worldwidefastingandprayer #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether 
My little man is such a crazy guy and that makes me a proud crazy mother!!! 
I went down stairs to check on him while he was supposed to be folding laundry 
I was upset 
to find it looked like it snowed laundry everywhere, the couch, the floor, the lamps, the fans were covered in clean clothes instead of attempted being folded on the couch. I disciplined him, got a little upset with him and then skipped with glee up the stairs with happy tears because my son is making a huge mess like other kids!! 
There was a time not too long ago, I had a loving mother, with all best intentions, tell me at least your children, with Cerebral Palsy, “can’t pull the pots and pans out of the cupboards!”

Oh
my goodness! Best day ever! Happy birthday to my amazing twin sisters!
And Jessyka you rock it too!! Love all of you! So we were doing great at
social distancing until I ran out of water and they had to share their
Camelback’s with me so there goes the social distancing! Might as well
do a cute picture together.
Doing fun hard things together really brings you closer together! Love you sisters!
