Cinderella, Optimus Prime, and a Little Red Riding Hood that I couldn’t get to stop moving…. (yeah yeah, Mommy’s camera skills are a little rusty after a few months of chemical equations and DNA replication).

my girl. Olivia. So sweet. It’s saturday morning and the darling is still asleep, 9:29am. This is not an everyday occurance. But, every once in a while she does this. It is ironic, because she went from SUPER OVER stimulated last night at a loud pizza restaraunt to sleeping until 9:29am. (which in our house [...]

Guess what!?! Baby is still alive, I guess we’ll never know if it’s because I switched to BPA-Free bottles… ha ha ha. Anyway, I previously posted that I had purchased a Dr. Brown’s BPA-free bottle.

Ironically, if you think about the characteristics of autism, which include social impairments, then I suppose you could call the whole family Autistic, right? I say this with a chuckle. (Only endearment here!). Anyway, I was just reading another [...]

On Wednesday, Olivia had her long awaited visit to The Marcus Institute in Atlanta. It is a clinic solely devoted to treating, evaluating, diagnosing, servicing children with developmental disabilities. To our family, it is was a trip to find the “Holy Grail” of answers for Olivia.

Well, I think we’re about birthday-ed out around here. Olivia’s was the 2nd, mine was the 3rd, and Josephine was the 8th. For Olivia’s birthday, we went out to eat for lunch… me, the kids, grandma and grandpa, and Sara Georgiadis. (Athena’s mommy). Then we went back to mom and dad’s to have strawberry shortcake [...]
