Yesterday, Gavin and I went to Clearwater to fill up our 5 gallon water jugs. The store actually had to put this sign on the door because so many people couldn’t look at the giant, boarded up hole in the wall and tire marks on the sidewalk and put 2 and 2 together. The guy …

Keep in mind that I live in the city when looking at this picture. I keep seeing this deer in the same spot, almost every night. I’m not sure where this deer actually lives because there isn’t exactly a ton of wooded areas for it to seek refuge in. I’m trying to think of a …

I came to a depressing realization today. I was reminded. of just how infantile Gavin is. The reality is that Gavin is a 2 year old in a 10 year olds body. Elliott Richard is more emotionally mature. When you get past Gavin’s physical size/age and look at him for who he is you see …

We have arrived to the Cleveland Clinic and Gavin didn’t get sick. He is however, being difficult and a bit on the uncooperative side. I’m not sure why he’s doing this but he’s never nervous about these appointments, so I’m not sure what’s going on. We are filling out the intake information, well, Lizze is …

My evening was going well……or at least better. Lizze and I were watching Swamp Loggers and I was finally relaxing. Next thing I know, everything in the room went dark. Blue, Emmett’s kitten, was playing behind the TV and has discovered how much fun it is to press the button on the power strip and …
