Walker in less than 90 seconds

Walker in less than 90 seconds - LITERALLY

Something must have distracted him here.....an unfinished job.
It must have been the pondering question of....

(Yes, I know I must get these delivered before the New Year!)

Just how much floss is there in that tiny tube anyway?

Or maybe, the need to try (unsuccessfully) and escape.

Apparently, this is where he obtains energy for his speedy destruction. Notice that the bag is almost completely empty.

Upon confronting him about his M&M consumption, he was totally ashamed!

Ivey has a tiny stomach bug today. All I did was leave the room - for less than 90 seconds - to check on her. I have yet to determine exactly what Knox was doing in those 90 seconds.

We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
