Clover the Brave

April 6, 2010

Clover went for a follow up appointment with the metabolic doctors who treat her and she had to have something like 9 tubes of blood drawn.  She is a baby rockstar.  Seriously. I really love the care that we get here.  I am so thankful for this system.  I am not going to argue with [...]

forget the rabbits and dingos, i need a twin proof fence through my house

February 27, 2010

while they get along great most of the time, there are the other moments of frenzied biting when i think they need a DMZ. sometimes i catch myself thinking “gemma never did that” and then i remember that gemma is A) a different kid…all kids are different despite having the same parents.  i get that [...]
