“Where am I am smiling, mom?” We are looking at baby pictures of Henry in our photo software. It’s opening because iPhoto has been acting all strange. Things are not where they are supposed to be. There are 3-4 version of some pictures. In off moments, I’m trying to sort, to make room for the [...]

Lots of special needs children in the news these days, huh? Today I have my own agenda to push forward and it is about that cursed stuff – BPA! More news breaks. The government is spending plenty of time not deciding what to do about it – even though consumers are turning away from it, [...]

LP was at farm camp this week. It was a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, we feel very positive about his week there. The 4-H education center is resource rich. There were farm themed play materials, other children, animals, gardens, a tractor and even a teacher with a 5 year old son with SPD [...]
