Symeon has started saying he is home when we pull into the parking lot of Paxton and I thought I have never really blogged about Paxton and our home. Paxton is an amazing wonderful place where about 85 adults live with mental illness or developmental disabilities or both. It is also home to our family and several others who have chosen to share their lives with these amazing people. It warms me heart everyday that Symeon recognizes Paxton as home because home is the place where you are safe and loved and that is the essence of Paxton for Symeon and so many others.
Our Home
The third floor windows on the left is home for our family.
Here is where we park all the time it is also the view Symeon has when we pull in. This is home for him! His cousin Sam said "Symeon has a really big house" and I guess that is true. Symeon and Marin see all of Paxton as their home. The go to the industrial kitchen and know their way around. They play pool, air hockey, and ping pong in the basement, the ride the elevator everyday, the run on the tennis court, and play at the playground.
Here is just a small part of our backyard
