Emmett and I have been attached at the hip lately.  He's very much in a Daddy phase right now. While this can be exhausting,  I totally love the time with him.  Today was one of those Precious Moments in #Autism.  We were hanging out in the yard playing with his little tee ball set.  He's come so far in the last few months.  He used to really struggle with the whole eye hand coordination thing and was always missing the ball. He would get so incredibly frustrated and wind up melting down because he just couldn't do as well as he wanted to.  Today however, he couldn't miss. He hit line drive after line drive.  I'm so proud of him. This has helped me to remember how lucky I really…

We just got a call from the vet's office.  In an unbelievable twist of fate,  Bella didn't ingest anything. She somehow managed to only chew everything up and not actually swallow any of it.  My first thought was how the hell is that even possible.  However, my second thought came along and beat the first thought over the head for looking a gift horse in the mouth. We are going to pick her up in a few minutes.  :-) Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers for our beloved Ms. Bella.  UPDATE: We just got home from picking up Bella. :-) The total came to $81 and that was a huge savings over the emergency vet that wanted almost $300 last night.

Here's the deal with Bella. She is on her way to the vet. Lizze called them first this  morning and they needed to see her right away. We are basically dropping her off and they are going to do a series of xrays. They said regular and possibly barium xrays as well.  If she needs surgery they are going to call us.  Lizze explained the situation and someone there apparently someone reads this blog and so they know how important Bella is to Emmett. They told Lizze that they will not make us choose between surgery and putting her down.  They will work with us on payments if she needs anything invasive. Hopefully, God willing, everything with be okay. She's having tummy issues this morning so please continue to keep…

Emmett has come so far. He's accomplished things that have me simply amazed. I'm not going to explain these pictures ecause they should speak for themselves.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.
