Earlier this spring we had a not-so-pleasant experience with Maddie participating in a community activity. ( see this post: http://mcdj.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/so-the-drama/ )
I have a good friend who talks a lot about the value of participating in sports, and I figured my kids aren’t getting any younger, so during Easter Break I took all the kids up to the Township [...]
OK, this is really just an excuse to post a photo of my children!
We went to Hidden Lake Gardens on Sunday, which is a nature conservatory type place a little less than an hour away. Its so pretty and peaceful. The kids had a great time just enjoying the scenery, checking out the walking paths, [...]
Over Easter break, the kids and I went to Lake Erie Metropark’s Marshands Museum and Nature Center. I took this photo of all my babies reading.
Are they all reading these nature and travel magazines that were at the park? Obviously no!
I strongly discourage the phrase “he/she can’t” in our household. Andrew is at the age [...]

I’ve started to work on #6 from my to-do blog list. ((No, I didn’t work on numbers one through five yet!)) I’ve uploaded an example of Maddie doing her spelling homework.

I apologize for the video not being better quality. With it getting dark out so early, the lighting isn’t the best. This video is from my little [...]
I’ll try to sum up my thoughts without going on and on and on. But first, my disclaimers! I do think I need to stress I believe all kids with Angelman Syndrome have this kind of potential inside of them. I don’t think that she is that incredibley exceptional, but we were able to figure out some [...]
