It’s hard to believe that another summer has come and gone so fast. This is the first summer I’ve worked full-time since I’ve had the kids, so I kind of feel guilty that I wasn’t able to do more with them or take them on a family vacation. So now I am in the midst [...]

 August 30th, 2010It’s barely the end of summer and the stores are already putting out Halloween costumes. Normally, I wouldn’t post anything about costumes this early on in the year, but since I’ve had lots of people ask me where I got the Lightning McQueen costume Chase wore for Halloween last year, I thought I would let anyone [...]
August 26th, 2010You know the old adage about being in the right place at the right time? Well, turns out there’s a bit of truth to it. At least for me there was. You see, the job I have now is temporary. It’s been a long-term temporary job, but nonetheless temporary. Our office is closing in the [...]
August 18th, 2010This past weekend, we decided to bite the bullet and take the kids to Disneyland since we wouldn’t be able to go on a family vacation. Chase was so excited — it was all he could talk about for a few days, so you can imagine how happy he felt when he woke [...]
August 7th, 2010I had a dream last night that Nick was talking. He said,”Hi, there,” plus a few other words. I’m hopeful that dream comes true soon. I’m waiting for the day I hear him say, “Mama”. We met with the school district last week, since they will be taking over for the Regional Center once Nick turns [...]
July 25th, 2010We’ve made a little progress with Nick, but it’s slow going. I was hoping he’d be saying a word or two by now, but nothing yet. Nick uses the sign for “more” every day now, but he still doesn’t understand that just because he gives me the sign doesn’t automatically mean he’s going to get [...]
July 4th, 2010It’s been a couple of weeks into Nick’s speech therapy and we’re starting to see a little progress. The speech therapist is focusing on one concept at a time. The first concept is communicating via sign language. Our first word: “more”. We have to work with Nick by asking him when he wants more of [...]
July 3rd, 2010About these three things I was absolutely positive. First, Twilight was a story about vampires. Second, there was a part of me that always did and always would abhor vampire stories. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with this vampire story. Okay, I will admit I am a little late [...]
June 16th, 2010Okay, so maybe not the Oscars, but to a kid any award or recognition is just as important. Well, today, Felicity’s teacher passed out awards to the kids since it was the last day of school. She had mentioned to me which award she as giving Felicity — Excellence in Reading, but she didn’t mention [...]
June 14th, 2010You know the old adage… an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Well, Nick took that saying to heart today. I bought a Sees Candy chocolate apple to give to the class aide for Felicity’s class. This morning, when I went to get the chocolate apple to give her, along with the Starbucks gift [...]
