It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does. This morning was rough. This morning, I woke up to Dan’s glucometer buzzing. His blood sugars were high. Instead of jumping out of bed to face the noise, I shrunk under the blanket and hid my head in the pillow. Antonio pulled himself tighter into me, then said,Continue reading “Mornings With A Pre-Teen Type 1 Diabetic With Autism Who Snuck High Carb Snacks for Breakfast”

A Day In The Life
Today I am tired. I did my best yesterday. I really did. I actually exercised! I went on a short walk with a dear friend. She pushed her 4 year old in a stroller and we had a nice visit.

The greatest thing about their conversations is that they can goContinue reading “8/21/20”

They last about 5 minutes before proclaiming that their fingers are frozen. And we go to another park. Where the temperature is literally 20 degrees warmer. Weird. Utah is weird.
New Shoes
Dan has been growing so fast! Look at these shoes! Hahaha! I crack myself up. But seriously… Remember when Dan rode his bike to church? According to Google Maps–we live 1.2 miles from the church building. This is what he looked like after riding his bike those 1.2 miles. On Monday, Dan was determined toContinue reading “New Shoes”
