A Can of Worms

August 18, 2008

Cass is getting a new parapro (one-on-one educational aide) tomorrow.  While Jeff and I were grocery shopping last Friday morning I got a call on my cell from the mom of one of the little girls who was in Cassidy’s class last year.  The mom asked if I had a second to talk and then proceeded to tell [...]

Drumroll Please

August 17, 2008

I finished it this weekend.  And by “I”, I of course mean we.  Jeff had to put up the hardware for the drapery and hang the wall art so that everything was all even and stuff.  When you ask an engineer to hang a picture you’d best be prepared for an arsenal of hi-tech laser leveling [...]

In Due Time

August 10, 2008

When Cass was first born I used to believe that she would break all the records for people with Down syndrome.  I believed if I worked with her hard enough, if I just pushed her the right amount, if only I had enough faith in her, I could will her “normal.” It may be inaccurate to [...]

August 7, 2008

*****Updated to announce that Jen at Our Daily Big Top is the winner in the Fliggity giveaway!*****   A certain someone is having a birthday next week.  I won’t mention any names but I will give you a hint. And yes, I am heinously biased, but how gosh darn cute is that?! Last year I [...]
