My daughter Holly (9) & son Isaac (4) have recently been diagnosed with Guanidinoacetate Methyltransferase Deficiency (GAMT). What a label, hey? Certainly sounds more impressive than Global Developmental Delay, Autism, or just plain old Epilepsy that we were ‘gifted’ with before.
Well, it’s here friends, February 14th , and according to the automatic reminder on my phone, that means it is time to stop at the store and give Hallmark their due for the year. Now I am not saying that I am not romantic, but I am a guy, so romantic is a relative term. […]
My little guy is now 8 years old and was diagnosed with Creatine Transporter Deficiency (CTD) at 19 months of age – well before we were emotionally prepared to deal with the implications of such a diagnosis. “Will he need extra help in math class or will he not be in a math class?” was […]
My husband likes tattoos. Really likes them. I do not have one spot of ink on my body. An indecisive person like myself is not a good candidate for tattoos. It’s a struggle for me to decide on where to eat out, so choosing an everlasting piece of art to adorn my body is not […]

My name is Levi. I am 5 years old and ALL boy. I love everything life has to offer me. I am an easy going, BUSY, happy, funny, & smart kid.
Happy New Year friends! Have you made your resolutions yet? To be honest I don’t do resolutions, I plan for contributions. So, with that in mind, the topic for this blog adventure is going to be the gifts that are given to others. To be more specific, I want to talk about the contributions that […]
I thought this post I would write about some of the things I guess us parents all go through, at some point or other. It feels like Ella makes such huge leaps forward every day – new words, new emotions, new actions. We can forget the horrors that we have been through and focus on […]
I broke my arm about two months ago. I’m 41 and I tried to ride a skateboard. It didn’t work out. It seemed like a much better idea in my head. While I counted myself very lucky—no surgery, no cast, no major damage to joints or ligaments—the broken humerus left me in an immobilizer for […]
