I never knew that becoming a father required me to turn into a human jungle gym. All day long today, Emmett has been using me as a jungle gym. He keeps climbing all over me and using his elbows to do it.  Holy crap are his elbows sharp and bony. I love Emmett,  I really, really do.  However,  I could do with him finding something else to climb on.  This is the down side to Emmett losing OT and PT. I can't wait for the warmer weather so I can get Emmett out to the playground and retire myself from being the human jungle gym.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

I wanted to share with you some really cool news in the pay it forward category. I'm trying to have a positive impact on the world, even if it's one person at a time. It's important to me that even though we don't have much of our own, that we still find a way to pay it forward. Yesterday I was able to do just that, with the help of Idolian.com. Last night was Math and Literacy Night at Summit Academy, where my kids go to school. During these events the PTA usually has a raffle in order to raise money to help support school functions, provide things for the classrooms and help cover future events like Math and Literacy Night. Because of Idolian.com's generosity, I was able to donate…

Emmett had a very, very long day yesterday. We spent most of our day in Cleveland and a good chunk of the day in the car.  He never once complained and was a little angel. I'm so proud of how well he did and so glad he had fun. My Grandfather took us out to lunchbe at Applebee's and Emmett behaved so well.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

We just arrived home from the Cleveland Clinic and are getting ready to go somewhere else soon.  I'll make this short and sweet.  There is some suspicion that Lizze may actuslly have Celiac disease. I had actually forgotten about this but Lizze reminded me today.  Lizze has always tested positive for Celiac via the blood test but when she was scoped the biopsies came back negative.  They always said that it really looked like the biopsies would be positive but they weren't. Her new doctor is going to review her records as soon as they arrive and decide where to go from there. Celiac would actually make sense but we'll have to wait and see.... :-( This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note…

Out to lunch with Emmett’s Great Grandpa Bing.  He's having a great time goofing around with my Grandpa.  There are 4 generations sitting at our table.  Lizze, myself, Emmett, my Mom and my Mom's Dad.

We are at the Strongsville branch of the Cleveland Clinic to see Lizze's new Gastrointerologist.  Her current gastrointerologist retired and so it made sense to make the move and keep everything all in one place.  The Cleveland Clinic is amazing.  We weren't in there long enough to really even sit down before they brought us back.  I mean, I have waited in line at McDonald's longer than it took her to be seen by her new doctor.  :-) Huge plus to the Cleveland Clinic for running like a friggin well oiled machine.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

I woke up this morning in a cold sweat once again after having one of my reoccurring  nightmares.  I'm so stressed out anymore that I rarely have wasn't dreams. Instead I have these dreams /nightmares where I'm back in school, typically, it's high school. What happens is always the same.  The backdrop may change but the premise is the same. Essentially, I can never either find my next class or remember my class schedule.  I end up wandering the entire school never finding the answers that I'm looking for.  I know this sounds ridiculous but this always completely freaks me out.  My high school experience was largely a positive one, so I don't know why I always revisit high school. I suspect the search for answers in my dream is…
