Hope By The Pen: October 2010
http://hopebythepen.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Hope By The Pen. The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elizabeth Kubler Ros. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. The Story Of Mad Dog and Claw Part II. I arrived at dinner with my children promptly, my p...

Adventures in Ivey: December 2012
http://adventuresinivey.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Christmas went pretty well. As Steve reminded me on Christmas Eve we have a different normal than most people and our expectations are pretty low, we don't ask for much. Grace had pretty much the same reaction to every gift and Caroline was happiest with her most wanted gift - Monster High High School. Andrew, Ron, Grace and Baby Leo (on Joey's lap). Grace and Baby Leo. Mitchell took his place in the living room, M&M's close by. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. 1st grade gen ed cl...

Saturday, June 15, 2013. Fly On The Wall Friday. Chillin in body sock with iPad. Mitchell decided this was a good safe place for his sucker while jumping on the trampoline. Bottom side of the couch is a great place to store my things. It was only a matter of time. Monday, June 10, 2013. Super Funny Article that screams my name - not for the weak stomach.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Have a travelling birthday party of course! We stopped at home for a rest before the Steele's were going to be home and ready for us. Caroline changed into one of her new outfits from earlier and then we travelled with our half eaten cake to sing Happy Birthday again. This time we had ice cream as a bonus and more presents of course. This is turning out to be quite a birthday. Labels: Carolines 8th birthday. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Adventures in Ivey: February 2014
http://adventuresinivey.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. What's with the ear? Just realized I haven't written since the summer. Youzer the time really flies. Some thoughts are short enough for a quick Facebook post but most of the time I have quite a bit to say but no time to type it up. I will try to focus more on my blogging than Facebook. It ends up on my page anyways! We eat popcorn all the time but I cannot pinpoint when we had it last. Reminded me of the time Steven decided at the age of 6 or so that it was a good idea to pick ...

Adventures in Ivey: July 2012
http://adventuresinivey.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. My original plan was to take the train but by the time we got Mitchell to camp we wouldn't be downtown until noon so we took the van. The kids all behaved very well in the car. Guess they knew not to mess with the crazy lady driving downtown. Steve met us for a bit and was tagged as an Unaccompanied Adult to be sure he did not leave with any children. Creepy old guy coming to museum by himself. Watching stupid people who can't read. Friday, July 27, 2012. So how did it go? At 8:26...

Thursday, May 31, 2012. Norm Meyer's Special Day. The 1st year Mitchell's early childhood class attended (3yrs ago) I was overwhelmed and saddened. I had never seen so many people with so my challenges in my life. I avoided eye contact with most and tried to minimize Mitchell's obstacles in my head, I think to convince myself he was not like these other people. How could he be? Boy how things change! Wednesday, May 30, 2012. The good news about the summer is Grace will go in our backyard without me, unli...

Thursday, July 18, 2013. It was Mitchell's last full day of Summer Camp so I decided to go out with a bang and bring the other 3 to Splash Station Waterpark in Joliet. We have been there before and it wa totally doable so I figured what the heck. That's my girl alright. Monday, July 8, 2013. Fly On The Wall Friday. Fly On The Wall Friday is having a little trouble getting out on Fridays, sorry. Bass Pro Shop Grizzly Bear. Grace yells, Mitchell throws, and this what becomes of my Nook. Script document....
