My poor little family is recovering from our first-ever All In the Family-Style illness.  It started on father’s day for me.  Will had spent that night before with his parents, as he, his brother, and his dad were going to … Continue reading →

Great(ish) Expectations

Posted on June 21, 2012 by larva225

Bot-ulism

Posted on June 13, 2012 by larva225

I must admit that we don’t watch nearly the amount of Bubble Guppies or Team Umizoomi that we used to.  We’re really trying to listen to more music, as Stella seems interested in her toy instruments that she has.  When … Continue reading →

Quacks of Life

Posted on June 6, 2012 by larva225

Posted on June 5, 2012 by larva225

Go Guck Yourself

Posted on June 4, 2012 by larva225

Stella has made huge progress on the language front in the past 4-6 weeks.  In my fury at the amount of time it was taking to get her admitted into the Early Steps program as well as setting up her … Continue reading →
