Who Needs It?
SRB is hosting a challenge this winter focusing on CLUTTER. Oh my, do me and clutter have a history. This challenge actually comes at the perfect time since 1. we just moved and have already gotten rid of a huge percentage of our belongings and 2. it’s January, and I’m super motivated to take charge…
Update
Welp. It’s nine days into the new year, and I haven’t forgotten my goals for 2014 yet and still feel what I think is an acceptable amount of motivation. I’m not dead, so that’s something (see Goal #1). I guess our biggest accomplishment so far this year is we have officially moved. Part of me thought it…
Surgery Scheduled
A few months ago, Grayson’s physical therapist asked if we’d ever had any imaging done on his hips (we hadn’t). She had attended a conference and learned about a surgery that she thought might help him. As you know, Grayson’s spasticity (tightness and stiffness) has progressively gotten worse and worse. It’s very difficult to put…
2014 Goals
Thank you all for your comments and support on my last post. Yes, 2013 was a pretty crappy year, but in 3.5 hours it will be over. So, ONWARD. I’ve been reading a lot of New Years resolutions/goals posts today and have been thinking about my own. The last thing I want to do is…
2013
2013 has been the hardest year of my life in all aspects: physical, emotional, financial, relational, and spiritual. It’s been a roller coaster of one incredible high but many, many lows. I’m really hoping that this particular ride is now over and I’m praying for a calm, peaceful, uneventful 2014. First, the high.Twenty days into…
Merry Christmas 2013
Merry Christmas! We’ve had a great few days with family and I’ll share more in a later post, but here are Grayson and Charlotte’s annual letters from Santa, always a highlight of our Christmas. Dear Grayson, Well, the big night has arrived once again! I’m here with my sack of presents while the reindeer…
Letters to Charlotte: 11 Months
Dear Charlotte, Today you are 11 months old: one month from today we will celebrate your first year of life. Your babyhood has passed in a blink, and I can hardly believe the speed at which you’ve changed from that tiny newborn who we met last January. Next week we celebrate your first Christmas! You already…
Wordless Wednesday: Cousin Christmas PJ Party
Is there anything cuter than little ones in matching Christmas jammies? The correct answer is no. My mom (Grammie) bought these for Grayson, Charlotte and Theo and I couldn’t love them more. Hannah and I had planned a little PJ/Christmas cookie “party” Saturday, but the PJs hadn’t arrived as of Saturday morning. So I, taking…
Breakfast with Santa
This morning, my mother in law was so sweet to treat us to breakfast at the Brookwood Community, a residential community that serves adults with disabilities. Santa, Mrs. Claus, and an elf were there for pictures before we sat down to eat. After my post this week on the quest for “perfect” pictures of my kids and…
