As many of you know, we are trying to raise a labradoodle puppy to (hopefully) be a hypoglycemic detecting service dog for our boys.

I’ve been a blog slacker since we started preparing for our trip to Dr. Weinstein, but things are starting to get back to normal now, so there goes my excuse. One of my favorite parts about being in the Clinical Research area of Shand’s Hospital is, obviously Dr. Weinstein. Next in line would have to [...]

I’m a firm believer that if you’re depressed or feeling pathetic and “why me” you should serve others and you will feel better. That was definitely me last year, but I had never before been in a situation where I felt I really couldn’t help anyone else. I couldn’t even help myself. I was completely [...]

Having four boys under the age of six tends to expose our family to a plethora of germs and viruses, and with them being more susceptible to getting sick we of course end up fighting off various types of illness.
