trim the tree (a picture marathon)

Even though it's blurry...

I think Trevy's face gives you a pretty good idea how he felt about breaking out the Christmas gear!


As does the pool of drool on running down his shirt!

Toby...on the other hand...preferred hiding and popping the bubble wrap




And here we have Santa's little helper...






I manned the camera...in between wrestling fitfulls of ornaments away from Trevy's drooly munchers!


Toby eventually found the Christmas spirit!



While I think Bristel may quite possibly BE the Christmas spirit!

Boo!


This picture below...
cracks me up! It looks like Trevy is sizing up Frosty...

Sometimes even Jonathan gets sappy sentimental. Going through ornaments is one of those sometimes...



Tah Dah!


I give you...


The Foltzie Family Tree!
You'll notice the ornaments are heavy above Trevy reach!








Oh...and did I ever tell you that I always wanted Christmas wedding? Or that I got it...



10 years ago (on the 21st) actually...

Love it! Great pics and I love the portrait! Very nice. When's the puppy making her debut???? I'm such a dog lover it's pitiful! Without Happy Hanna in my life I certainly wouldn't smile nearly as much!

Bri is a girl after my own heart! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas and decorating for it. To the point that I try and get away with leaving up the tree all year long. The farthest I got was June a few years ago... *grin* Hubby made me take it down despite my pointing out that it would only be another 5 months before it went back up!!! *sigh*

I love the wedding portrait. So beautiful! And Happy Early Anniversary. I'll have to mark it in my calendar so I can't forget. *smile*

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...
