A couple weeks ago, Lydia had a swallow study done. This is something that has been talked about since our very first appointment we had for Lydia when we became concerned about her development. Lydia’s reflux is just relentless. She is on medication and we do a lot at home to try and help her …
We love our holidays! St. Patrick’s Day was FULL. I got up early and got myself ready and made our traditional St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. Yummy! Then Lydia and I drove down to Broomfield to have a swallow study done on Lydia. That was a whole thing and I will do a separate post for …
Sarah Esther brings me so much joy. I love that sweet little girl who is becoming less and less “little” every day. She fills our home with joy and love and some much needed balance with the boys! I love how Sarah puts her pencil behind her ear (just like her Daddy). I love how …
