I love our Tiny. Everybody knows that. But let me brag about her for a bit. She’s an amazing kid. She’s freaking brilliant (yes I’m biased but I’m really not exaggerating) and mature beyond age 3. Her therapist is continually amazed at her acuity and ability to identify what she’s feeling (“I have 14 yearContinue reading “Terrifically Tiny”

That Sweet Baby Smell
The day after I wrote about longing for a third kid to be placed with us? We got the call we could say yes to! Was it for a child within our age range? Not even a little bit. Was it a kid with medical issues? Nope – thankfully she’s healthy. Did we say yesContinue reading “That Sweet Baby Smell”
Waiting
We are officially open for a new placement, and are waiting for the right fit to come along. What does that mean? I’ve said in a previous post that we are looking for a girl ages 4-7. A girl in that age range with medical problems (husband = nurse) would be our ideal situation. DoContinue reading “Waiting”
Adventures in Legoland
Being the slightly nutty person that I am, I took Kiddo and Tiny for a two-day adventure to Legoland NY without Seth. (My poor beleaguered husband is a brand new nurse still in his training period in labor and delivery, and doesn’t get vacation time for a while yet). It was a brightly colored blast!Continue reading “Adventures in Legoland”
Moving On
Miss Kicks is still AWOL and the police are still looking for her, much to her dismay. Until yesterday we had ongoing contact with her on Messenger, but her messages have been getting increasingly nasty and antagonistic. She’s not giving away where she is, and all that was coming out of the continued connection wasContinue reading “Moving On”
She said YES!
At the last visit, Miss Kicks’s case worker handed me a piece of paper that said “intent to adopt” across the top. It’s a form that says that since Miss Kicks is legally freed for adoption, Seth and I intend to adopt her. She said she needed it for our next court appearance later thisContinue reading “She said YES!”
An interview of my partner in crime
I decided to follow the lead of my dear friend Emily whose awesome blog involves interviewing people. I’ll never get my husband to do his own guest post, so I decided to interview him. Here he is in all his glory, the man, the myth, the legend: Seth. H: I think I know the answerContinue reading “An interview of my partner in crime”
Big Family Chaos
My house is ludicrously chaotic. In fact, when we are trying to get all the troops out the door, Seth always irritably shouts “Come on, Team Chaos! Let’s go!” And when we arrive somewhere he says “Team Chaos is here!” Kiddo and Miss Kicks have no volume control. Both are often at Max Volume atContinue reading “Big Family Chaos”
Parenting while perpetually exhausted
I’ve been talking solely about the kids in this blog, but one of the things that affects them is me, and my health. So I’m going to talk about that today. I don’t think my story is unique. In fact I know it’s not. For a lot of women in particular, we struggle with chronicContinue reading “Parenting while perpetually exhausted”
Pippilu Sweetness
Look at this gorgeous creation by my friend Brooke at PippiLu Designs! Sweet with cupcake fabric just because of my blog. It’s a “busy bag,” in which we will keep a coloring book and markers and a book or two and a toy or two. We can grab it any time we are headed toContinue reading “Pippilu Sweetness”
