We had a lot of frustrating news last week.  But we had some really good news too. I have been wanting to ask one of Anna Grace’s therapists if her expressive language was up to age level and if her receptive language (the things she understands) were pretty close to age level.  But I was […]

Yes, our delightful Washington summer has not worked out as […]

Osama Doesn’t Live Here

Dear Fort Lewis, I have put up with your strange little machines flying over my house for quite some time.  Your odd little helicopters that don’t look like helicopters aren’t fooling anyone.  If you want me to believe it is not a helicopter, then you should make it not sound like a helicopter.  And the […]
