An Introduction

This is my 2nd attempt at blogging. Hopefully this time I will be able to give it the attention it deserves.

I'm a 27 year old stay at home mother of two amazing, beautiful, wonderful boys.

This is my Aiden, who is almost 8 and my Grady, who is three.

They are my life.

My husband and I are expecting our third (and final) baby in September and as much as I love my boys; I am really hoping for a girl!

My husband is a truck driver and is gone 5-6 days a week. So in many senses, I am like a single mom. I run this household on my own. 

We recently moved back to my home town after living in Norwalk for four years. We moved back to the street I grew up on. Across the street from my Mom. She's my best friend. I love living close again, and so do the boys!

We have our share of difficulties. 

Aiden is diagnosed ADHD. He does very well on his medication. He is so smart and caring. One of the most compassionate and empathetic 7 year olds I know. 

Grady is diagnosed developmentally delayed. Officially, he has a motor planning delay, speech delay and mild sensory processing disorder. He has been in one form of therapy or another since nine months old. He has made amazing progress but still tests at an 18-22 month level in his fine and gross motor skills. Right now, he takes occupational therapy and Speech at a rehab center and started doing speech, physical therapy, occupational therapy and preschool at home through the school system. It sure keeps us busy but is what is best for him. He is such a happy, easy going, hard working kid. 

I wouldn't trade either of them for all the money in the world.

So I hope you come along for the ride. Get to know us a bit. Take this roller coaster up and down with us. Share our smiles.

Gather strength through our trials.

But always believing that love can carry us through all.
