Oh this rocks! I have been following your blog since 2008 when my son was born with microphthalmia. Since that time, I've become hooked on Ivey! I am so proud to see her standing. This could be the start of many new adventures! I am so proud of her. Thank you for sharing Ivey's story, she is a blessing.

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...

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...
