Dancing in the Rain: August 2011
http://burnettdancingintherain.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
August 24, 2011. Nathan's first day of school was Tuesday. It was a rough day for all. He cried. He screamed. He asked for his mom and dad repeatedly. But he made it through his first day and his first bus ride home. His teacher's note from his first day:. Oh, boy. I thought we had our work cut out for us. So Nate and I talked A LOT that night about school and what to expect. And about being brave and not crying at school. Once he got off the bus he was all smiles. His note from today:. Nathan had a much.

Dancing in the Rain: October 2011

October 31, 2011. October is spina bifida awareness month. I'll admit, I've slacked this month (yes, I do realize this is the very last. You should be aware that having a child with SB may cause increased motivation to help others, a new-found perspective in times of trial, a desire to enjoy the little things and commitment to change the way the world defines "disability". Studies show that raising a child with SB will induce strong feelings of gratitude for. I think that says it all. October 26, 2011.

Dancing in the Rain: April 2011
http://burnettdancingintherain.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
April 05, 2011. Nate is talking up a storm these days. And I've been trying to write down some of the things he says because they are so cute! Ryan puts Nate in his wheel chair after breakfast. A few minutes later he wheels up to Ryan. What we got goin' on today? Nate is sitting on my lap and we are snuggling and talking. He starts stroking my hair, looks up at me and says,. Mommy, you're my best friend. I tell Nate we are going to Target later. What am I going to get there? What's daddy's favorite store?

Dancing in the Rain: Christmas Tradition No. 1: The Walnut Room
http://burnettdancingintherain.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-tradition-no-1-walnut-room.html
December 30, 2010. Christmas Tradition No. 1: The Walnut Room. Eating lunch under the big tree. Has been a tradition since Ryan's mom was a little girl. And would ride the train downtown with her Grandmother. I've been going for many years now,. Since I started dating Ryan in high school. At first, it was just Ryan's mom, his sister and I. But over the years we've watched. As our families have grown. And are now starting a new tradition with our own kids. It never ceases to be an interesting day. A spina...

Dancing in the Rain: November 2011
http://burnettdancingintherain.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
November 24, 2011. Thankful for a big move. It's been a long road, but we are at the end of it. We've known for a while that the house we live in now doesn't suit our family's needs. We live in a bi-level and with Nate in a wheel chair it has been trying. Plus, with the addition of Lucas it just seems smaller. Nate really has nowhere to go here, is constantly bumping into furniture and we have a family room downstairs that we barely ever use. I really don't think this new house could be any more perfect ...

Dancing in the Rain: February 2011
http://burnettdancingintherain.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
February 19, 2011. A few of his favorite things. Nate's top 3 favorite things in no particular order:. Anything that has to do with the Wonder Pets,. Talking on the phone,. And his beloved trucks from the "Chuck the Dump Truck" series. I think we have them all now, and he knows them (and calls them) all by name and can recite the book that came with the big Chuck by heart. He loves to line them up in neat rows, then send them flying across the room. I love, love, LOVE that he is all boy! And when she did...

the mcclain family: March 2009
http://mcclainblog.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Just a little glimpse into the lives of our fabulous family of four. Things are looking up! March 24, 2009. So, as always - it has been a while since writing last. This time tho, things are all positive! Not to jinx things, as I usually feel like I do, but everything to write about today is all good. =). Mostly because she has been learning to do this all on her own! On a final note, more silly things from our silly 3 year old: "Skyler-isms part 2". Re: freeway traffic -. I need to go home now! I really ...

Crue's Journey: October 2012
http://ourlittlecrue.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 20, 2012. This is what he thinks about this place! And happy to be home! Monday, October 1, 2012. A much needed update. Said his shunt looks awesome and is working well. Poor guy has had enough surgeries, I hate to see him go through another one. Said that as of right now there wasn't much that needed to be done, obviously because he is only 2 months old and only eats breast milk! They will check back as he gets closer to eating solids. That pretty much sums it up! The silly big brother!
