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!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

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...
