Slaviks Outnumbered: March 2013
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 31, 2013. You've probably noticed that my blog frequency has dropped off in the past couple of months. I have felt bad about that, but time has not been on my side. I truly enjoy sharing our family's story and adventures, and hope that there are many of you out there who look forward to our updates! And no, this is not an April Fool's joke. Its really just unfortunate timing. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. When I went to Syracuse for graduate school, I had to (sarcastically) beg permission from m...

Slaviks Outnumbered: August 2012
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2012. With language comes lies. Luke has been doing a lot better in school since "the incident." That was the day when he refused to listen, got a sad face on his daily report, and had to write an apology letter to his teachers. Apparently in his class before you get a sad face report, you get three chances to change your behavior. NOT THE RED CRAYON! Me: Buddy, did something make you mad or sad today? Luke: No, I just had a rough day. Me: Luke, was someone mean to you at school?

Slaviks Outnumbered: Being Luke.
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2012/11/being-luke.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. Luke's school had a fundraiser today called Boosterthon Fun Run. It is a nice way to raise money for the school, where students collect pledges and learn about leadership, fitness and making good choices. The week of activities culminates with a Fun Run - a small track is set up on the school grounds and all students have a goal of completing 35 laps. Thankfully the track isn't the size of a standard track. The running began. All the kids together. En mass. Imagine ...My kids m...

Slaviks Outnumbered: November 2013
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. If just for a moment. I'm sorry it has been more than a month since the last post! I'm desperate for sleep but wanted to give a little update on how things are going. But first, the Halloween photo. The boys dressed up as some of their favorite NASCAR drivers and went trick-or-treating with our neighbor, the kitty cat. If you want to remember that excitement, or don't remember the story, click here. Remember to keep a tissue in your hand while reading! If just for a moment.

Slaviks Outnumbered: September 2013
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 26, 2013. Ten years ago, on September 27, 2003, a mostly sunny Saturday in Endicott, New York, Nate and I got married. Its amazing to me how on that day, ten years seemed like a long time away. And now looking back, it hardly seems possible that that much time has passed. Was this really happening? Was I about to marry my best friend? We sang Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' on the way to the church. I had made a CD of awesome music for the ride (to calm everyone down. err. c...Then all ...

Slaviks Outnumbered: December 2012
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Our dog is broken. I was laying down with Matt for the upteenth time on Monday night when Nate opened the door and said those words. Our dog is broken. I wasn't sure how to respond. Despite the fact that it was almost 10pm, Matt didn't want to go to sleep. We both got up to check on broken Otis. We wracked our brain for what could be going on. He'd had a rawhide the day before - could it be an abdominal blockage? The chocolate incident from 2 weeks ago? We called the vet and...

Slaviks Outnumbered: Almost done!
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2013/10/almost-done.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Will has been doing amazingly well with his transition to the ketogenic diet this week. What a relief that is! Since Monday morning, his dietician and doctors have been slowly transitioning Will from a diet made up largely of carbohydrates to a diet made up almost exclusively of fats. Thankfully Will woke up in a good mood today. After he got one last vomit protest out of his system, he stayed happy, non-vomity, and in a state of ketosis all day. We are headed home tom...Put g...

Slaviks Outnumbered: July 2013
http://ncslaviks.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. We are in the middle of summer craziness. Track out camps. Full time CNAs. Swimming lessons. Yucky heat. Humidity. Lots of sweaty boys. Makes bath time all the more important. Why do you have to check, Mommy? My answer seemed to make sense to him. Then he asked me what daddies do. I took a pause again. I wanted to come up with a good answer. Something that gave Nate credit for all that he does. Something that doesn't play into gender stereotypes. Something that di...How Inclusion...
