The boys are pretty big into The Avengers right now and today, Emmett decided to draw Captain America.  :-) I love his creativity and the fact that he carefully torn him out of the larger piece of paper that gave birth to him. One of my most favorite things in the world is looking at the amazing things that my little minions manage to muster up with their beautifully creative minds. Great job Emmett, Daddy is sooooo proud of you.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

I just left my neighbors house after finding out that someone on a bike, rode by and was firing a pellet gun at our houses. It was roughly 10pm around the time this happened. The jackass on the bike shot out my neighbors window and literally blew out the back window of their car. While Lizze and I were watching TV, in front of our giant picture frame window, I heard something ping off the siding of our house but couldn't find the cause.  Before bed, I was letting the dogs out and my neighbor called me over. Someone had actually witnessed what happened and said it was a guy,  early 20's...... maybe. Hard to tell cause it was so dark out.  The guy was riding a bike and firing…

Even though we have been without the need of diapers for over a year now (thank God), we still stock wet wipes in order to deshmutsify the kids.  Emmett is at the age where he wants to everything on his own. Wet wipes help him to keep his face clean during the day and he can do it all by himself.  :-) Today he decided to mix his love of creating things with the  newly found independence of cleaning his own face. I bring you diamond shaped wipes.  :-) Well.....he was excited about it anyway.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Gavin is driving Lizze and I bonkers.  While there is an element of choice involved, it's mostly not his fault. With that said, it doesn't lessen the level of frustration caused by these behaviors. He's incessantly talking about Sonic the friggin Hedgehog.  Everything's Sonic this and Sonic that.  Even Dr. Patti has expressed concern over Gavin living in his Sonic the Hedgehog world again. The problem with this, at least in Gavin's case, is the fact that he already walks such a fine line between real and imaginary.  We have no problems with him taking interest in something but when that interest takes over his life in what we as his parents consider an unhealthy way, we worry and seek help and guidance. It's not uncommon for kids on the…

I mentioned yesterday that Emmett was going into another fever flare for the first time this year.  He had red spots in his mouth which is a precursor for the mouth sores... This morning, we looked again after  he began complaining that his mouth hurt. The sores are officially popping up now.  This time however, they are showing up along his gumline and they are very, very painful.  This explains why he refused to brush his teeth and probably was behind this mornings meltdown. Emmett's going to be miserable for the next week or so and I don't blame him one bit.  This is a very painful experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone, especially my sweet little Emmett John.  :-( This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy…
