Breathing Treatments


Emerson was still all-smiles with a viral infection and wheezing. The breathing treatments have made a big difference.

Memorial Day




We celebrated Memorial Day with the Yarns. When Emerson suddenly started crying, I thought maybe he had been stung by a bee. Instead, we realized he was startled by seeing a mama raccoon and her babies down in our yard drain.

Start of Summer







A trip to the splashpad heralded the start of summer. It's hard to say which Emerson loved more: the water play or ice cream he had after.

Last Day of School



The last day of school came with an early dismissal & girls who were over it already! No smiling for mom's camera...serious about playing.

Grace's 11th Birthday





Grace celebrated her birthday with a sloth-themed party and sleepover. Seth, Emerson, and I stayed in a nearby hotel. Emerson had fun in the indoor pool. Rather than sleep in a Pack 'n Play, which has rarely gone well, Emerson slept on a yoga mat.

Mother's Day




Thank you kids & Seth for a special Mother's Day! I came down to a table decorated with succulents, cards, a special box, and a book made by Kit.

Kit's Dance Recital










We had a full weekend with Kit's dance recital :) At the dress rehearsal, I was surprised to see Kit diving into the arms of her classmates during one of the routines.  On Saturday, I volunteered to help sign kids in and out, and it was a good thing Winnie came along because she passed out programs. Kit had quite the fan club in attendance & we all enjoyed watching her do her thing!

Duchenne Dash








Kit ran her first official 5K in Dublin to support Luke Fox & Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research.
