In true me-fashion, I had to squeeze in one more thing before Paul headed back to work after the holiday break. I figured with the Los Angeles Zoo being so close, we might as well take Stevie to see how he would like it. I didn’t really have high hopes. I remembered taking my nephew around this age,…
I bring Mr. Stevie to this park called Shane’s Inspiration twice a week for Physical Therapy. It is an awesome playground near the carousel at Griffith Park and has so many options for him. He’s not crazy about the park because every time we go, I’m making him work alongside his therapist. Stand up and…
Stevie gets vision therapy through the Junior Blind of America. Thus, we get invited to all their cool little events! Well, I shouldn’t say little. Quite a turn out and quite a lot to do. The day started out well enough. We ate, played in the sensory room, visited with some familiar faces, tried some…
Happy Halloween from us dorks! I was SO excited we were all smiling in that picture. I do have to admit, I haven’t been much into the Halloween spirit this year. It’s just been too busy. I don’t even have Stevie’s costume totally done. Is it even worth doing at this point? I know, I…
During our family reunion, we took a day away from the nice, cool beach to spend some time at fun, hot Disneyland. I loved going with more kids and more family than I usually go with. It is always a treat to spend time with everyone. But to spend time with them and take snapshots…
Stay-cation Day #4 was the official start of our family reunion. Aunt Patti arranged a beach house for everyone to come stay and the next few days were strictly reserved for sand, sun, and waves. We body-surfed the time away and then would go back to the beach house to relax and visit. We had…
Stay-cation Day #3: Long Beach I picked up my other nephew, Luke, from the airport on Monday morning. We flew him in from Missouri so that he wouldn’t miss any of the fun. Then we figured a sort of low-key place to hang out is the aquarium. All 3 boys seemed to really enjoy it.…
There are going to be a bunch of Going Places posts coming up since we had a busy little week over here! My sister and nephew came to visit. Of course we had a great time. You’ll see. For now, let’s start with Saturday at the Farmer’s Market. It’s become a weekend tradition of ours…
Once in awhile, Paul has to work weekends. And when he doesn’t, it seems like I do! Weekends where we just relax are pretty rare these days. This particular weekend, he had a real estate shoot. I wouldn’t normally go with him, but we figured since it was in beautiful Newport Beach, he could quickly…
This time we went to the Orange County Fair. And daddy got to join us! We mostly wanted to go a little closer to the coast so we could have some nice cool weather. That did not work out in our favor. It was hotter than Satan’s armpit. Shaved Ice was a necessity. But we…
