hint of fall (picture marathon)



It was SO lovely outside yesterday that I had the brilliant idea to go pack up & head to the best (ie. closest) park around!


Although...about halfway through the bundle & buckle routine I was ready to change my mind!


::smile::




Hey Mommy...can we have THIS Christmas tree?


Wow...those eyes...





Brothers keepers






Toby enjoying some much needed (and craved) alone time...





It was my goal to caputre as many Trevy smiles & eyes as I could














Bristel's chilly grin...



















Toby is becoming rather useful. I sent him to chase & retrieve Trevy about a thousand times!
Trevy's face cracks me up. He's ovbiously loving the Catch me if you Can game!





Ahhhh...
I've had some seriously cranky days lately. Mommy thing?
But somehow just hanging out with my kiddos...watching their little faces glow with fun...
it's really nice. And sometimes the crankies even melt away.














Bonus Pics...


This is the view...



from the top of our street...




where our new house lives! I'll post pics of our place once we're moved in & settled-ish.


We're set to close on the 18th!

How exciting about your new home...what a great view!!
There's something to be said for getting out of theh house and just "being" isn't there? We don't do it often enough....takes alot of effort....but once we're there it's so worth it...especially when the Littles are tired after all that fresh air!
Beautiful shots. Love all three of your babies smiles. They're full of light!

Wonderful pics! Looks like everyone enjoyed the time out in ths sunshine. And sounds like Mom enjoyed it just as much.

Was gonna take the girls out to play in the snow at the park up the street yesterday, but then the high winds kicked in...poor kids were so depressed. Nothing like some Noggin watching to cure those moods though!

Love the new view...can't wait to see the new house pictures!

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...

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...

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...
