One sunny afternoon I was sitting on my mom’s back lawn with Jill.  I was telling her how I’m just making the word “autism” common for Silas…so it’s not taboo…it’s just always been there for him.  Suddenly Silas spoke up and said “I’m not autism I’m handsome”.  Ohhhh we laughed and laughed.  Perfect Silas. So… Continue reading DUM DA DA DUMMMMM!!!

Ikey Bikey Boo is a walking 27 pound ball of attitude these days.  Throwing things, hitting, biting his brother’s arm so hard that he still has teeth marks days later, throwing more things, smiling when I tell him no.  So I guess that means he’s two right? He’s the most curious boy in the world… Continue reading Stinker

Nothing like your child starting preschool to make you feel kinda old…and stressed.  I’m pretty sure that I’m the youngest mom.  The rest of them seem like women in their 30’s.  I still feel old.  Especially when they handed me a scholastic book club thingy.  So cute. Silas’ aid is great.  They made up these… Continue reading Preschool

Silas loves holding his cousin Owen, his whole body gets relaxed, face and all.  He rubs and smells and kisses Owens head.  It’s just like holding a baby does to any of us.  It’s almost like therapy for him. This photo just shows you exactly that.  Plus, the resemblance to his father in this photo… Continue reading What a HUNK!

How could two people say “lets dress up like cougars for Terry’s old fogy party” and then come in almost the exact same outfit?  Perhaps we were born for this.  Perhaps being a cougar, or at least looking like one is our calling.  I mean…who else does bangs like mine?  I especially like how we… Continue reading Cougarriffic
