As you all know - we are Georgia fans around here. If the kiddos grow up to be non-Georgia graduates, Matt's world will surely end. In the meantime, we have one awesome football coach, and I don't mean his skills as an athletic coach. I am talking about what he brings to the Team that impacts them beyond the football field.

After having a daughter with 'deformities' and having a special couple in our life who are adoptive parents and admiring them, well, just watch the video then you will see why this coach and his family are to be admired.

So this was passed to me in an email and I thought it worthy of sharing it with you all. I would be willing to bet that you will be a Dawg fan too after you watch this video. Go Dawgs!

I hadn't seen that before. I just love that family and I am very proud to be a Bulldawg fan because of them...not always because of the team! I hope we have him as our coach for many years to come, we have all learned what Christian leadership looks like through him. Thanks for sharing!

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...
