Chris with our nephew Liam. This photo was taken this morning in Atlanta, GA. It looks warmer there than it is here in Michigan. Where are the hats, coats, & mittens?

It's IEP season
As we head into the annual IEP (individual educational plan) meeting for Joe with his team of many... I am faced with the continual struggle of having to label Joe to obtain services. Special Needs Mama Vicki Forman has written a terrific essay that invites readers to consider the power of naming people and things. Click here to read.

Missing Home
This is going to be a tough Holiday season for me. Peter just emailed me a bunch of photos of the old homestead! I am so glad that the lights are shinning brightly. Look at the snow! I hope that Peter, Katheryn and the kids can spend a lot of time in front of the fireplace and little time shoveling the snow. I know that Mom and Dad would have loved to have seen the house so well lit on dark, snowy lights.
Check out the rainbow sticker I put in my bedroom window (second floor, left-hand window) in elementary school in the 1970s! It's still there.

Is there a Doctor in the House?
Joe was alone in the playroom being very quiet (usually a bad sign). When we looked around the corner to check on him we saw him administering a number of shots to his cookie jar. When he was done, he moved on to his next patient, Teddy. I wonder if he is checking Teddy's heart and mentioning that according to the heart association kids and bears who have had open-heart surgery no longer need to take antibiotics before visiting the dentist. The news arrived just in time for our semi-annual dental visit next week.

MSU Children's Preparatory Choir
Some prep. choir members with director Ms. Mills (seated in center) and MSU Children's Choir director Mrs. Stollack. 
Emma with her sitters Liz & Krista
Emma had her first concert this afternoon. The prep. choir sang 3 songs: "We'll Dress the House;" "O Chanukah;" and "On Christmas Night. The CMS Singers and the MSU Children's Choir also performed. All the kids sang well. Emma really enjoyed singing in front of a big crowd. Parents are not allowed to take photos during the performance so I shot a couple before and after the show.

Life with Anthony
Here's a recent article from Parenting magazine that examines the realities of the first 18 months raising a child with an extra chromosome. It reminded me of our first year with Joe. Click here to read it.

The Cousins Frilingos
Liam is 2 months old today! Here he is with big brother Evan (2 1/2 yrs). Look at the photo posted below of our 2 home-wreckers. There is definitely a family resemblance!
