smiling

A list of random things that made me smile this weekend...




  • The unadulterated glee in J's voice. He was quite pleased with his 1/2 priced meat bargain find. I've delegated BJ's runs to him. My freezer hates me for it! ::smile::


  • Bristel's made-up words like - pink-a-lish


  • The way Toby practices his spelling list! Hopping around the room like a baby kangaroo. It's annoyingly cute!


  • These shoes!








I've been waiting months for the air to turn crisp...so I could sport them in style!







  • Naps. Wait. Shhhhh.... Do you hear that? Me neither...isn't silence fabulous!





  • The Yummy vs. Slummy Mommy debate!


  • Grams. And her Sunday afternoon babysitting so J & I can go window shopping for our we-may-be-placing-a-bid-on-it-this-week house!


  • Two consequetive ACTH-injection free days!


  • Glimpses of Happy-Trevy again! We've missed him!

  • Seeing an older couple holding hands at the mall. And having J reach over for mine...because he noticed too.
Now it's your turn...what made you smile this weekend?

Finding out that my 10 yr old nephew doctored up my oldest daughter's little cut on her forehead after she took a dive playing hide and seek...He can be a brat, but he loves his little cousins :)

Super cute shoes! Lovin' the dots and the little cross over strap. It's always important to have cute feet at the playground or wherever.
Thanks for the Yummy vs. Slummy smile. I'm glad it brought a little sunshine to your day.
Don't you just love holding hands with your husband? It's one of my favorite things too...reminds me of dating days and how lucky we are to have each other.Pink-a-lish-cious!:)

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
