cause they make me smile (a picture marathon)

I suck at captioning photos...so I'll spare you!



But I *heart* snapping them!



And these are my fave subjects!





Okay...so this set needs a lil' explanation...


Toby "injured" his ankle racing around like a wild child. And Bristel enjoyed playing doctor to fix him all up for tonights game. Against "the good team"!
















Am I the only one who wants to pinch that cheek mug?

It is so interesting that you shoot Trevor a different way during your photo session. It's very representative of something subconscious, an emotional component that is there that is different than the other kids. Not better, not more that's not what I mean, not something like that. I can't quite explain it actually...and I may be totally reading into it myself.

All great photos though, very cute family.

They are super cute, huh?

You know Ken...I actually agree with you. It's always difficult to label those "different" connections for fear of sounding like there's favortism. I try really hard not to favor any of them over the other. They each have their good days...and ummm not so good... I try to celebrate the unique stuff each of them contribute to our family.

And just like my connection with Toby...my first born...my super athletic boyfriend...is different. And my connection with my girl...my snuggle bug...hang at the mall together Bristel bean...is different.

So my connection with Trevy is undeniably different. And super emotional. Because we don't have words to help us communicate with each other...we rely A LOT on body language and eye contact. Sometimes it feels like I really KNOW what he's thinking. And visa versa. We have a very strong heart bond...

And because everything comes SO hard for him...I celebrate his accomplishments with a passion! Then again...when Toby smacks a good hit I'm the jumping & screaming mommy in the bleachers! And when Bristel says funny things...I belly laugh embarssingly loud...cause I think she's the funniest wittiest girl around! But they don't have to word as hard as Trevy to do new things...and it's different ya know.

Anyway...I think it's funny (as in interesting) that it can be noticed in the way I take his picture. Although some of that is...he happens to be much easier to catch natural too!

Anyway...food for foder for another post someday I'm sure...

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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
