Speak
So this post may come off as a product advertisement. IT IS NOT! This is legit, real, and our true experiences. When we moved to Canada, we started the next phase for Chase’s supplements and treatment plan. Part of the next phase was adding something called Speak from Nourish Life. Speak is a specially formulated […]

Slippery Slope
Family vacation time! Cancun, Mexico. What a blast! Chase had a great time. We are starting to overcome his fear of water. With a lifejacket on we were able to bring him out into the ocean, and hold him by the hands only, while he would lay on his belly and kick trying to swim. […]

Settling

Tears of Hope
Everyday, I spend a few minutes by myself… staring at nothing… searching… crying. Everyday since I found out, I think about it. Hoping… wanting… needing. Often people walk up to me, and ask what’s wrong. My normal response is nothing. I’m lying! I’m not always sad though. Those tears, and red eyes, aren’t sad… they’re […]

That Face!!!
Putting together some stuff for Walk Now for Autism Speaks. Looking through pics of Chase, and found a collection of pics I took of him last summer while in SoCal at the Zoo. I did a series of various poses of his facial expressions. He was just in the right mood, and I snapped the […]
