She is beautiful. My kids always use to grow in the spring. I think it has to do with going outside.

Four pounds Miss Ivey?Seriously??You are a rockstar.I need to start spiking Miss Zoey's feeds .. holding steady at a whopping 23!And your pictures little girl ... breathtaking.

Now to you my faraway friend... how could I have forgotten you did a crossroads post as well?My problem is,I cannot exactly pinpoint why I am the crossroads just that there is something in the air.A nudging.A feeling.A call to take notice.You and me,connected in some weird,never could explain it way but I find such absolute comfort in it.Irregardless of distance but in my recent moments,I sure wish it were next door.

Hell in the Hallway ... could t be said any more appropriately.and your friend... God knew exactly the timing of her placement in your life,as well as the pillow.

In closing I want to say,I wish that the money tree were in full bloom as I would fly out for a certain little loves birthday ... these pictures just make me want to scoop her up and dance with her.Honestly and truly.

This is my first stop at your blog and I wanted to tell you that your daughter is absolutely beautiful.. Thank you for sharing your honesty when it comes to calling our children retarded. Politically correct or not, its what they are.. Its society that has made it into an ugly hate word..

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU.  My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself.  That decision did not come lightly.  Another hole in her.  Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival.  Literally to give her a chance to live.  A permanent decision.  A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me.... Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Sibling Secret Sauce

Siblings of kiddos with disabilities are amazing humans walking amongst us. They live a life, most often, in the shadows of their sibling who simply needs "more". More time. More direct attention. More of more. We have now come to a fork in our road. Our boys are young men, and, our daughter is a young lady. I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. 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...
