Highlights from Ps & Q

On a monumental day in the life of this blog...my 300th consecutive daily post...I am glad to use it to celebrate a truly monumental little boy; my son, Henry. It was his fifth birthday yesterday, and we did our best to celebrate within the limits of quarantine and...

The weekend arrived and Saturday was the eve of Henry's birthday. Other than a few things to do around the house, it was a pretty quiet morning and early afternoon, other than my playing a quick few rounds of superhero with the kids in our upstairs play room. In...

It was Friday at the end of the first week of 2021, which already feels like it contained about as much insanity as most regular years do. Off to a solid start!When Henry's therapist arrived in the morning, he paused the Spongebob movie was watching His therapist...

Saturday was a really nice, laid-back family day for us. With Christmas and New Year's now over, we are on the slide toward returning to real life on Monday. I'm back to work, therapies start up again for Henry, Erin has clients and Amelia starts school again later in...

Just like that, it is a brand new year. We woke up on New Year's Day and took our time getting up and getting going. As Amelia pointed out, it doesn't feel all that different from last year. At this point, I suppose that is true, yet I do remain hopeful.That said, I...
