You know if I’m dusting off the blog, it’s time for a pretty major update. But it’s major in a way that’s not really major at all. It doesn’t change anything in our day to day lives, but we have been seeking answers to Stevie’s health mysteries for quite some time. In that sense, an…

Movie Date with Stevie
I’m someone who has always enjoyed going to the movies, because… IDK American? The sights, the smells, the sounds, I love it all. Even when the movie isn’t particularly good, and even as the ticket prices become more and more outrageous, I always seem to enjoy the overall experience. And of course, the popcorn. I…
A Moment to Remember: May
If that glowing smile doesn’t say it all… This kid was in heaven. We are not ones to shy away from watching vehicles do their thing. Whether that’s sitting near the valet at a restaurant to watch them park, or pulling over to the side of the road to wait for a train to whiz…
Stevie Update: Spring 2018
Well it’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated you all on Stevie’s life — and all the medical stuff that goes along with that. This post is about 8 months in the making, and details are starting to get muddled for me. But I’m fresh off the latest doctor appointment with his neurologist, so…
Around Here Lately
Holy Moses, what a whirlwind couple of weeks I’ve had. Some things were planned, some things were a total surprise, and … wowoweewa! Where do I begin? I should probably start with The Price is Right. Yes, you heard me. The PRICE IS FRICKIN’ RIGHT. Finally got myself to a taping — which, in itself,…
I Can't
This morning, I was venting to Paul about how difficult Stevie has been the last little while. He scoffed and said “You mean the last 6 and 1/2 years??” And of course we do have to have a sense of humor about it. It is laughable to try and pinpoint when difficult phases begin and…
Stevie Update
Over the last year, words have not come easily for me when I think about Stevie. I sit with my hands on the keyboard, ready to unleash some truth on y’all and instead, I run into a full mental block. I want to tell you about his successes. And I want to tell you about…
Summer 2017 Video!
I got on a roll editing this week! Go me! Often times I use my big camera with big plans and big intentions to put together the cutest videos, but it’s a really easy thing to put aside for later. And later. And later. So they rarely never happen. And while one of my summer…
Jumping Off Point
Yesterday, we had a big time doctor’s appointment for Stevie at Boone Fetter Clinic. A few of you already know that this was long awaited — not only for the last several years of talking about it, but once we finally made the decision to go forward, we had to book 6 months out. Popular…
We Are All Parents In Training
As I started writing this blog post, I wanted to dedicate it to the new parents out there. Because holy crap if you’re a new parent. You are surely going through some big changes. You are definitely tired. You are probably hormonal. You are feeling accomplished and hopeful and well-adjusted one day — and like…
