Since we are three hours away, we really try and make the most of our appointments at Primary’s. This day was a LONG one but we were able to get a lot done! Lab Work First up, was lab work. After our last meeting with the neurologist, they put in more lab work for this …
Family Game Night
It felt like January flew by in a FLASH! Our family made a goal this year to bring back our monthly “family fun” activities. We got pretty inconsistent this last year {can we blame COVID? 😉} and we want to get back to it! January almost slipped by us, but we decided to do a …
Jacob Scott
I am in complete denial that Jacob is going to be nine years old this year. Where is the time going? As crazy as it is though, it is also exciting to think that we are entering this new phase in parenting. I have definitely noticed a maturity in Jacob over the last couple months. …
{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 …
2021
I love New Years. Not like other holidays so much with all of the traditions and things – but I love the feeling of New Years. I love the feeling of starting fresh, the possibilities – it’s a great thing! Now, I think 2020 is a year that none of us will forget any time …
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve seems so long ago right now! But we had a wonderfully simple celebration. We had a candlelit feast {we LOVED eating by candlelight throughout December as we celebrated advent – it’s now become a favorite!}. Celebrations and holidays I feel like are meaning more and more to me each time. I have …
MRI / Hearing Screening / Genetic Testing
Oh geez. We had a little break from tests and appointments for Christmas, but the next week we hit the ground running, again. Here is a little bit of a dump of all of the updates we have from the last two weeks. Hearing Screening Our first appointment was with the audiology clinic at Primary’s. …
Lydia Rose
I feel like Lydia has gotten a lot of time on the blog lately, but it’s always about our concerns and her medical journey. Our concerns are big and they are real {and I’ve got some updates ready to be shared in the next couple of days} but I also just want to remember our …
The Book of Mormon
2020 had it’s fair share of downs, but studying The Book of Mormon was definitely not one of them! The last couple years I have tried to put a conscious effort into consistently being in the scriptures and the last two years, with Come Follow Me, has been incredible. I want to be in the …
