Back with a Bang

We've just returned home from a wonderful week in Missouri with my brother's family visiting my parents, "Ma Bop" & "Pa Pop" as Bridget calls them, or Grammy and Papa to the rest of us.

With beautiful weather and lots of time to talk, laugh, and play, it was a perfect break from the details of everyday life.

Bridget was in her element. She was the center of attention and enjoyed by all. Here are a few photos from our trip:































































We're just a few weeks away from Bridget's third birthday, and I have lots of posts in the cue. I've been doing some reading, thinking and planning, as well as general reflecting on life with Bridget. If you're interested, check back often between now and the end of the month for new posts (thoughts on early intervention/therapy, transitioning to the school system, celebrating Bridget). There's so much to say...

  1. She's so beautiful! I love the photo of her dancing in her dress. We live in MO. I hope the weather wasn't too icky for you when you were here. Except for the rain, I think this has been the coolest 4th of July in a few years.

  5. That little dress with the polka dots was $12 from TJ Maxx. It is super cute on her. Look for more pics of her in it coming up on her birthday (7/23)!

  6. This is totally unrelated! But I just had a chance to read your story in GIFTS 2 and wanted to thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart.

    You've done wonderful work and I thank you for your beautiful and inspiring advocacy.
