Highlights from Ps & Q

It was a groggy start to Sunday, as it's been a pretty groggy start to the past few days. We have been seeing some good progress with Henry in many areas since he started therapy a few months ago, and last week we pivoted to working on an underlying issue we've dealt...

Boo! On Saturday, the big day arrived. Halloween. As I've mentioned in previous posts, the kids love Halloween and have been talking about it for months. We did make the decision a few weeks ago to pass on trick or treating this year. This is a bummer, for them and...

'Twas the day before Halloween, and all through the house, all our creatures were stirring. We are big Halloween fans in this family, and as always, the kids are super excited. Amelia got to wear her costume to virtual school on Friday, and even changed her screen...

Short post tonight, gang. Thursday was pretty uneventful for the most part. Work, school, therapy, all the usual stuff.I made a yummy deconstructed potsticker meal for dinner, and Erin had the great idea to take a little walk after we ate. Asta really needed the...

Saturday was was a little calm before the literal storm. The forecast for Sunday was lots of snow and a high of 19 degrees, so we figured it was time to do a little cold weather prep outside.The lawn got its last mow for the season and, is traditional for me every...

It was a very, very crisp Friday morning. Below freezing, as a point of fact. And colder weather on the way. We are on deck for a full on snowstorm on Saturday night and Sunday, so I had to get the yard ready. The front yard was full of leaves, so frosty conditions or...
