This was a rough week for Jenson.  He had a cold – was really congested and had a runny nose.  No surprise, he started sleeping pretty poorly this week (and it currently hasn’t stopped).  He was waking a lot and needed extra snuggles in the

The last week of August was a big week for Jenson.  It seemed like he made so many changes during that week.  He found his clapping rhythm and I got an awesome video of him clapping to “I’ve Got to Break Free” by Queen.  After

Here’s my Friday spiel: There’s a lot of crap in the world, so let’s talk about things that made us feel good this week…because it’s Friday – and that’s reason enough.  It’s easy enough to focus on the things that aren’t perfect or on drama,

Feel Good Friday

I decided to post for Feel Good Friday again…because it feels good.  I can’t say I’ll remember to do it every week, considering I’m weeks behind on weekly updates, and 1/2 month behind on his 10 month update, but I’ll try when I remember. There’s 

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: Accepted!

If you’re on social media, you’ve seen videos the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  It was spreading so quickly through my friends that I knew it was coming for us soon.  While at dinner with my friend tonight she said she was glad she hasn’t been
