Today’s started out with a bang. Lizze was up all night again with hot flashes and Emmett woke up bright and early. When I say early, I mean like the 5 o’clock hour.

As any of my long time readers will remember, I suffered a major back injury in 2001. I have been in constant pain for most of the last decade. Nothing would relieve the pain, not even pain killers. I need to have surgery but never had it. I felt there was to much risk involved …

A little bit of fun
This evening we took the boys to the playground and aside from Gavin’s little mishap, everyone had a good time. It’s nice to see all three of the boys playing outside together and having fun. I was able to grab a picture of them running together. Gavin’s in the classic Sonic pose but he did …

We had a little accident
We took the boys to the playground this evening. I sat in the car for a minute because T-Mobile just turned on the LTE towers but the signal stops about a mile from my house. We lost our Internet at home and so I was taking advantage of the connection to finish a few things …

Family is everything
Lizze was able to let me sneak out again this morning for a little while. I spoke with my Mom this morning and she’s obviously and understandably upset about my grandfather (her father). He was diagnosed with prostate cancer this week and last night we found out it has spread to his bones. I went …

A morning filled with Sensory Overload and Meltdowns
Our morning has only been here a short while and already it’s filled with screaming and meltdowns. It’s like Emmett started his day overstimulated. Perhaps he didn’t sleep well last night or maybe had bad dreams. Two things set him off this morning. The first thing was his pet ball. This is a light up …
