Something I have wanted to be better at doing is incorporating holidays and other extras into our school learning. I don’t feel like I do great at this but this last week The Good and the Beautiful made it pretty hard to not do anything! I have never seen them do these before {but I …
New Year Showcase
Extra activities have been a rough go the last year! Our kiddos are not involved in a lot, but dance has been one thing that Sarah has been able to continue doing. She loves it and we were so glad that we could finally get together to watch her perform with her class. They performed …
Stander
The day after Lydia’s ABR, she had a BIG physical therapy appointment. On top of all of Lydia’s doctor’s appointments, she is still receiving physical therapy, feeding therapy, language therapy, and they are talking about starting occupational therapy 😳. It’s A LOT.

{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Math: Level 2
I love the math by The Good and the Beautiful. I said it. I love it! It is so solid and it is Jacob’s favorite subject. He spends a slightly crazy amount of time flipping through his math books during his free time. That’s how much we love it around here. It’s gold. So here …
Tier II
We were so sure that after we completed our mammoth list of tests from our developmental specialist that we would have a direction for Lydia. How could we not?! Our two biggest tests that we thought would give us some guidance were the MRI and genetic test. When we got the news that both came …
