Where’s Daddy?

My first conversation with Laura this morning just tickled my heart. Yes, we have a variation quite frequently. But it is usually said with a deep sadness. This morning it was very different. It went something like this:

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, We Need A Schedule to Go…

As we get more and more prepared to start schooling at home again next week, I realize that fall is my favorite times of the year. While each season has its high points (yes, even winter – but then the Christmas season ends and you’re left with the rest of the winter here – UGH!), [...]

And The Saga Continues…

Sometimes I just want to curl up in the corner and have a good cry. I wonder why it is that Laura must endure so much. I wonder why she had to not only have all of the gastric issues, oxygen issues, and eating problems but clubfoot on top of it all. I wonder why [...]
