I know I haven’t written much about having a child with Asperger’s lately, but that will be changing as we start Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy this week. We met with our therapist, and did they “Hey, this is who I am, and this is what I do,” visit. The boys LOVED him. This past [...]
With back to school shopping in full swing, parents are trying to fulfill the yearly supply list. I know that as a parent, even when crayons, colored pencils, and the like aren’t on the list, I still take advantage of the back to school sales and stock up for our household stash. This year, you [...]
Last week after Aaron’s GI check up (we’re STILL trying to find the cause of his issues), we took the boys to The Hershey Story (since we were up that way and all). We wanted to take advantage of their participation in the Blue Star Museums program before it expires Labor Day (free admission for [...]

Are you part of the Mamarazzi? Are you a compulsive picture taker? Do you stalk your family with a camera? It’s ok – there’s safety in numbers! Our three year old has been all about playing football and swords since Daddy has returned home from being TDY all summer. This has been almost a daily [...]
This week we took the boys to the Choo Choo Barn to see the model train display. I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations. We even followed the sign at the end that says to feel free to go around again. Even after two trips around the display we had to drag our [...]
I was looking at the modern military history and political science books. And I mentally broke down. I’m not ready to REALLY know. A lot of the books are from 2001-2005, particularly 2004-2005. When we were waging heavy war in the Al Anbar province in Iraq. The Battle of Fallujah. Ramadi. I wanted to tear [...]
