Seriously?! I haven’t posted anything in six months, although anyone who still reads this blog already knows. Honestly, I’ve started posts, have had trouble deciding the direction I want to take the posts and ended up deleting them.   Now that we’re practicing social distancing in our house, I really do have a little more timeContinue reading “Six Months?!!!!”

I’m writing a post. I can’t believe that this much time has passed, but yet it has.

She has decided she’s unhappy at meal time sitting in her high chair. Continue reading “Life With ANW”

I started this post over a month ago, but couldn’t seem to finish it.  I suppose I’m not always sure where to draw the line between sharing enough and not sharing too much.    Sometimes, or in my case many times, it’s difficult to share something so personal.  We’ll see how it goes.

A few days ago, we had a visit from ANW’s case worker.  As all case workers are required to do in the State of Texas, she came for her monthly visit to make sure ANW is doing well and to give us an update. She confirmed that the 90-day hearing was last week.  This isContinue reading “Moving Forward”
