Round 3 of blood work for Gavin
It’s been a long day but a pretty good one. I didn’t write yesterday cause I was not really in a place where I felt like writing. I spent the time connecting with other parents instead and that was really cool. Yesterday, I had to take Gavin for another round of blood work, this time …

We take #vaccines VERY seriously but had to play catch-up today with our youngest and here’s why
I’m going to focus on the positive tonight. There was plenty of things that didn’t go right, but the ones that did, matter more in this very moment.

Emmett and I are flying solo this afternoon
We’re heading out in a few minutes because Emmett has an appointment with his pediatrician. It’s the last med check before his behavioral health care switches over to the main behavioral health center at Akron Children’s Hospital next month. This is also going to double as a well check. Emmett recently had a birthday and …
