We had an amazing opportunity a couple weeks ago to meet several other girls and their families that have Rett Syndrome. When I was first invited to this, I was really unsure about whether or not I wanted to go. I know that might sound strange but hear me out. Before this, we had never …
Our little Sarah girl. She is light and joy and goodness and patience and love and we were so happy to celebrate her on this very special birthday. I think possibly my favorite thing Sarah said about her birthday is this: “I’m kind of glad my birthday is on a Sunday. That way it can …
Our family was about one week back to activities and school things when we were HIT with a brutal cold and fever! It was so not fun. It was so bad even Mark got it – which is saying something because that man has an immune system of STEEL! But it was just a wicked …
