So this morning I decided that we should go to a play group that the Infant/child development people put on. I swallowed whatever it is that makes me scared of places like that and we went. The people there was SUPER nice and SUPER great with kids. They kept saying how good Silas was at… Continue reading Playgroup and stuff

The Ball is Rolling
So I got a call from child development this morning. At first it was disheartening, this lady was really confusing. She had me thinking that Silas was in some sort of limbo stage. Her program only deals with children enrolled in pre-school or school and Infant and Child development only deals with Children up to… Continue reading The Ball is Rolling
Oh How It’s Grown
My tomatos caught blight so I had to pick them all early. I washed them in a bleach solution to kill any fungus and they’re ripening beautifully. I’m pleased I didn’t lose them. They said the corn would get 7 feet tall…it’s about 10 now. I can’t wait until it’s ready!! There’s one squash on… Continue reading Oh How It’s Grown
I have nothing to say today

My Heart
I’m becoming increasingly aware that this autism is effecting me in a very negative way. Ya my attitude is great, I see attitude as a choice, no one is slave to their attitudes. It’s just my heart, my spirit, something. Something is missing. I’ve just felt like I’ve been carrying around this weight with me… Continue reading My Heart
Funny Little Ikey
Ikey is a funny little boy. He tromps around the house he like he owns the place and knows everything. So busy, you put him down and he doesn’t take a moment to stand still…gotta go. His most favorite thing in the world right now is standing at the bathroom sink with a little bit… Continue reading Funny Little Ikey
Meat Fingers
One thing I’m finding as I observe Silas is that he has these moments of total clarity. Yesterday he had almost an entire DAY of clarity. I couldn’t believe all the words coming from his mouth. A lot of it was still echoing but he was making up a lot of his own stuff too. … Continue reading Meat Fingers
Blessed.
Silas climbs onto my lap as I’m sitting on the couch, gives me his sparkly eyed smile and begins to bounce, so hard that it’s beginning to hurt. I shift so his bony bum begins hitting the couch and not my poor thighs. His face is so happy so I try to not be annoyed… Continue reading Blessed.

Something miraculous is happening in my household, I’m so excited!! Brent’s new job has taken away this big big big… Continue reading Stress Freeee
100 Things About Me Part III
K this is going to be harder now….here’s part one and part two if you’re interested. 51. In Bible College I was dating this guy named Colin. We were hanging out when all of a sudden he pointed at Brent and said “Brent is the nicest and hottest guy in our school, the girl that… Continue reading 100 Things About Me Part III
All Bashed Up
Yesterday Isaac decided it would be fun to climb up on our toddler chair in the bathroom. I was sitting down to relieve myself and he fell face first into the cupboards. Instant goose egg and bruise on the fore head, bleeding gums, split chin. YIKES. Poor kiddo had to lay there for ice and… Continue reading All Bashed Up
Relaxing Weekend
What a relaxing weekend. We arrived at about 9pm the first day and were very very impressed at how our chalet looked. You’ll see photos below. It’s really beautiful there. The next morning we decided to have breakfast on the deck, I was blabbing on and on about something between mouthfuls of eggs, sausage and… Continue reading Relaxing Weekend
Happy Anniversary!
So I did just write a post that just said “blah” over and over. Then someone wished me a happy anniversary today so I was like OH YEAH. I’ve been married 4 whole years now! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BRENTLY!!! I seriously seriously seriously have the best husband in the world. And whenever I have another anniversary… Continue reading Happy Anniversary!
Today I’m Excited.
It’s funny, ever since Silas was born we kinda poked fun at him. He just seemed different and we came up with nicknames for him like “special boy”. Which I know can be offensive but..he was just different. Sometimes as he’d be sitting there spinning something I’d call him my little autistic boy. I had… Continue reading Today I’m Excited.
Here We Go Silas
First off, thanks everyone for all the support. It’s been shocking to see how loving everyone is being towards our family. SO many thoughts going through my mind today. Wondering what my future looks like. What things am I going to have to do that are completely out of my character?? I know for Silas… Continue reading Here We Go Silas
