Today we met Kate down near Tacoma at a pharmacy that had just about everything for disabled people. They had a large section of the store dedicated to wheelchairs and assorted push chairs. The kids and I got there before Kate so I was able to look around. All the strollers/push chairs looked “medical” (lack [...]
We’ve been MIA all week. In any given year August is our busiest month. However, it has been one thing after another this past week. We had several birthdays, Uncle Sean arrived in Washington, Aunt Fran and Uncle Dale are in Washington, and we’re gearing up for the new school year starting next week. Transitioning [...]
During the garage sale, my Stampin’ Up demonstrator had donated color coordinating packs of paper, ink, and pens to sell. The supplies were dropped off at 1:00PM on that Saturday. By 3:00 I saw the last pack walk out the door. All of us who were working the sale and are somewhat crafty were just drooling [...]
Erin had an appointment with Rehab Medicine at Children’s Hospital on Wednesday. While she was there the OT stopped by with her helmet. Of course Erin didn’t want the helmet on but it also didn’t help that she had not taken a nap before the appointment. This morning I made her put it [...]
Oh the drama never stops! Erin and I were taking our nightly shower when she slipped and banged her head on the metal rim in the shower stall. When she fell, she fell like a tree…didn’t bend or twist on the way down. I immediately picked her up and held her close. Alan ran upstairs when [...]
During the craziness of the garage sale, Erin received a package from my father. In it was this beautiful handmade quilt by the Squares of Love Quilt Fellowship from St. Patrick’s Anglican Church in Smyrna, TN. With the lap quilt came a pamphlet explaining the history and design of the quilt. “Each lap quilt consists [...]
Today is Erin’s third birthday! We celebrated her birthday with friends last night. Erin totally knows what it means to have a birthday party. She crashed on the couch late in the afternoon and woke up just before her party was to start. She was so cranky and cried for a good thirty minutes. Once we [...]
It’s taken me some time to update everyone on our A-W-E-S-O-M-E sale. There were a team of people at the church all day Thursday.

When I got [...]

Well, we’re down to the last few days of getting everything together. We cleaned out our garage to make room for things and we just filled it back up today. Our family shuttled stuff across [...]
We’ve survived our family vacation!! Not that we didn’t have our moments but overall we had a great time. Alan and I are happy to be home. The kids were sad to leave the hotel but hopefully we’ll make another trip back in the near future.
On the last day of our vacation, I was sitting [...]
