Our Bugs Journey & the Woods
6 nights ago when we were getting ready to ring in the New Year with our dearest friends, I brought up an idea I had heard on Gretchen Rubin's "Happier" podcast (anyone who knows me well, or has followed the blog in the past, knows my fondness of Gretchen Rubin, and of mostly all things...

I want to tell you all about the different kind of joy I have experienced lately--the joy of seeing Evy hit milestones that not so long ago, we had wondered if he ever even would. What sorts of milestones would be be able to reach? A year or so ago, we really didn't know...and it... Continue Reading →
I'm realizing tonight that I haven't written much lately. I used to write here 1-2 times weekly, and that pace has slowly dwindled to 1-2 times monthly. And there's a very simple reason for that: this blog of mine is fulfilling it's purpose beautifully. It has been the outlet that has allowed me to safely... Continue Reading →
As I sat here this afternoon with our Child Development Services representative, we'll call her "S" for short, it dawned on me all over again just how far our Evrett Bug has come. Even as I sit here typing away at this, with Bug right next to me playing with the alphabet, I feel almost... Continue Reading →
With Evrett's big appt coming up on October 5th with our "head honcho" (his genetic specialist), I kinda thought I would be more nervous. Afterall, we have no idea what he is going to say; will he inform us that the final stages of testing are complete, and that we have an official diagnosis for... Continue Reading →
I mentally paced back & forth all weekend about this post. I thought of making it in to more of a "look on the bright side" kind of entry, in which I would turn every fear I have for Evy in to a beautiful rainbow. After all, changing the lens through which we view things... Continue Reading →
Today was no ordinary, run-of-the-mill Monday. Not by a long shot... It felt as if the Gods/Goddesses of the Universe smiled upon us! My afternoon at work was lovely; I'm settling in to the position of legal administrative assistant even more, and thus am finding my own rhythm. This was also the first afternoon leaving...

Remember the good old adage: sometimes you "can't see the forest for the tress"? Well I certainly do, and it rang true for me this weekend! As improbable as it is for people outside of our little family of 5 to really know what the details of daily life are like in our household, particularly... Continue Reading →
Today, I ventured out to WalMart with Evy and Lydia on my own. This may be only the 2nd time that I have ever attempted to run an errand with these two, without Scott along with me. Cody and Evy? Yup, they're no problem. Cody himself is even a big help, sometimes! Cody and Lydia?... Continue Reading →
I awoke this morning to a gentle kiss on my cheek, and a whispered "I love you" from my hubby. Since I am quite well-known for being a grumpy-bear first thing in the morning before coffee, he quickly follows that up with: "You don't have to get up yet, I just thought you might be...
