This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle!

Joel's birthday -- August 17



Yesterday was Joel birthday. We surprised Joel and took him and the other children to Disneyland.

We had a delightful time. Dan rented a wheelchair and we got to go to the front of many of the lines. It was the best!



When Dan's accident happened last September, I truly believed we'd never travel to southern California again as a family. I didn't believe Dan would be able to celebrate birthdays with the children either. And...of course, if I had been told that on Joel's birthday, that we'd be at Disneyland, I'd have laughed at even thinking such a thought!

Again, as I reflect on this, I must say how grateful we all are that Dan is alive....AND...he's well enough to go to Disneyland!
