My World, My Way: March 2015
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Thursday, March 26, 2015. You know, I try really hard to do as many right things on the Mom checklist as I can. I'm trying to raise independent kids, kids who know that things won't get handed to them and that they have to work a little for the positive results. I try to stomp that sense of entitlement as quickly as I see it rearing it's ugly little punch it in the face head. So what's my problem? The dish job in itself involves loading the dishwasher. I very heavily EMPHASIZE the w...

My World, My Way: May 2014
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. It's something a busy Mom looks forward to all of the time. You pray for it. You search for it. You cry when don't get it. Those few moments of silence are music to the ears. What happens when you get three days of it though? I sure could use a little peace and quiet myself here at the house and Mallory is as quiet as they get! I mean, I love my boys, but who doesn't enjoy a peaceful break? Once Tyler got home from school, he packed his bag and off they went!

My World, My Way: February 2014
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Saturday, February 22, 2014. We go a good eight months every year with out a kid's birthday around here. From February until June we celebrate six birthdays. We've got one in February, three in April and two in June. Andrew is our February guy, being born at 2:21am on 2/21! He said that they didn't believe him! I was so glad that his day started off so happy! When he got home from school (so lucky his birthday was on a Friday! I got a kick out of it because it was pretty obvious they we...

My World, My Way: September 2014
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. The New Me (Or Who Flipped the Switch - Take 2). I published a blog earlier today but took it down. Why? Because my thoughts were too scattered. I read it a few times and thought it wasn't quite right but posted it anyway. My husband read it and kind of said the same thing. So I thought I'd give it another try and take it in a little bit of a different direction. With a new title and all. It's been scary watching my weight slowly increase. I don't consid...

My World, My Way: October 2014
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. What can I say about this week? If I had to say one thing right now. at this exact second. it would be, "Holy crap. it's only Tuesday.". It can only go uphill from here? Did I set up the scopes for Mallory that I've been raving to everyone about for like the past month? By this I mean her airway scopes with ENT and pulmonary. They were to be coordinated with her surgery today while she was already under anesthesia. Was I supposed to call and set that up? I get...

My World, My Way. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. I remember how I felt that day. (I blogged about that day on the post ' Mallory's Surgery. If anyone is interested in going back in time! I remember how scared I felt. You do everything you can to distract yourself from thinking about your child laying on an operating table, cut open, but there is no distraction large enough. Seeing her afterwards gave me a sense of relief but also came with some fear of the unknown. Would the distractors be successful? I'm s...

My World, My Way: December 2013
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
My World, My Way. Monday, December 23, 2013. My daughter, Mallory, just celebrated her half birthday. Never in my life has six months felt like such a short period of time. I feel like it was just yesterday we were able to bring her home from the hospital. And contributing to the quick feeling of time passing was the urgency at which we whisked her out of that hospital. I look back at this email I sent in August:. Thank you and we look forward to talking with you soon,. Mallory is here though. She is...

My World, My Way. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. My life has seriously been flipped upside down. When I found out I was pregnant with Mallory I did not anticipate any of what has happened. Who would? Who would anticipate spending hours researching Apert and Pfeiffer Sydrome? Or having to learn how to operate a ventilator and a suction machine? Who would anticipate feeding their child through a hole in their stomach? Not this chick. That's for sure. But now. she's home. Links to this post.

My World, My Way: Q-Raptor is Four!
http://www.myworldmywayblog.com/2015/04/q-raptor-is-four.html
My World, My Way. Friday, April 3, 2015. Q-Raptor' is what his brothers call Quentin. He's a loud, rambunctious, charismatic force to be reckoned with. All in the most positive ways possible, of course! He even tells me when his hearing aid batteries have died. That's really just the very tip of the iceberg. His speech progress makes me so proud! I know he'll continue to amaze and shock me all the same! Just as long as he does it with that smile! Once I got back I started baking. Quentin came to chec...
