  • E122: Ways We are Strengthening our Marriage
    May 27 2024

    In this episode, we review a few books that we have read including one that we are slowly going through together to strengthen our marriage.

    • Your True Self is Enough (Author: Susanna Peace Lovell)
    • Becoming Brave Together, Heroic, extraordinary caregiving stories from mothers hidden in plain sight (An Anthology from "We are Brave Together")
    • How to Build a Thriving Marriage as you Care for Children with Disabilities (Authors: Kristin Faith Evans and Todd Evans)


    In addition to taking action steps recommended in the book, we are also watching the Rick Warren online study, "What on Earther Are We Here For?" Both of these resources are helping us align together for God's plans for us in this next season of life.

    We also share some highlights from the past week including homeschool, an IMAX movie viewing, and community service sewing pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles.

    Bryce's Bible Class is from Bob Jones University. The first grade curriculum was a perfect fit for him, and the second grade curriculum, "A Servant's Heart", appears to be a good next step for him.

  • E121: Why Is Bryce Still in Speech and Occupational Therapies After Eight (8) Years?
    May 21 2024

    In this episode, we talk about Bryce's recent OT testing results and why we still have him in private sessions for speech and OT three-hours each week at age 10.7.

    We also share some highlights from our recent vacation along with some of the adventures that we all enjoyed as a family.

    After a month-break, Bryce has begun 5th grade! We continue to homeschool him at this point and supplement social with Special Olympics and other group activities in our area.
