weekend whirlwind (a picture marathon)

Our weekend whirlwind included some really special blog-a-lish moments...



Like Trevy enjoying his very first popsicle!



It took a little work helping him figure out that it was easier to eat when holding the stick as opposed to the icy part!




But once he got the hang of it...




summer became a whole new experience for him!





If you ask me...



I could skip the icy pop and just eat the delicious little kiddos up instead!




Bristel learned how to swing all by herself!




which is totally great for her...




and ME!




And how adorable is she sporting the sun kissed face and the Look At Me Mommy smile!










And Toby...our little athlete...made the Tiverton All Star team again this year!



I love to see him sporting his uniform...and game face...



And he loves to see me sporting his team's ball cap...and glowing proud mommy face!





It felt like Friday had just settled on the horizon...


when suddenly Monday was glowing over the shore. The start of a new week. Filled to the brim with the busy-ness that is our life.


::sigh::


The good thing about busy...


it doesn't leave much time for melancholy mulling.


::smile::

The pictures are great!! Looks like they got the popsicles from the ice cream truck. Tell them that Bibi is coming in August and we will eat some together on the porch. Love the swing pictures! Tell Toby that I hope to see him play something when I am there. Are all the seasons done by then? Love and kisses all around, Bibi

PS I like busy too, so the thoughts and memories are not too strong.

Love the pics of Trevy enjoying his popsicle with big sis. Love the pictures of Bristel swinging. Love the game-faced baseball player. Your children are beautiful!

Bibi...the kids are looking forward to hugging you!

Adesta...I KNOW! They have all matured a lot this year!

Sharon...I'm such a sucker for kiddie feet! My kids never wear shoes! We should totally live in FL. :)

Barbara...getting Trevy to hold his popsicle right was such a trip! He immediately grabbed it by the icee part flipped it upside down and start chewing the stick! Then started crying because his little hand was freezing! But once he got the hang of it...Cuteness! He ate another one yesterday - perfectly right the first time!

Kelly...awww thanks. Your kiddos are pretty darn cute too!

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...
