Autumn's Eyes: Persistence is not futile...
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2012/12/persistence-is-not-futile.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Persistence is not futile. Okay, the title isn't really that great but, honestly, it is true. Ever since I was given the big scare of my incredibly high cholesterol Shannon and I have been doing our best at making many adjustments. From eating healthier, smaller portions, and exercise it has been a year of great change for us - albeit slow change, but, the persistence is paying off! There has been an offer of some new friends of ours to teach karate - apparently he is a 2nd le...

Autumn's Eyes: November 2010
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Junior Internship.nothing like last minute! The Junior class at Emerson Waldorf School have to do one week of an internship every year. Last year Alex did his week internship with an art therapy school learning about art therapy. It has helped bolster his desire to seriously continue on that career path and is now looking into colleges that would help support him. Luckily for me I happened to complain to just the right parent at our school about the whole thing and she said, ...

Autumn's Eyes: November 2012
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Here are photos of what the living room used to look like:. The red patches were tests to see what color we liked, otherwise the walls were completely white. And here are the after photos:. We are very happy with the final product! I'm really not the big on red, but it feels right in this room. It gives it a nice warm feeling. And it looks nice with the fall leaf (pumpkin) color in the dining room and entry way, which you can just see in the 3rd photo above. There is a heaven!

Autumn's Eyes: Yellow Jackets...
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2012/09/yellow-jackets.html
Sunday, September 9, 2012. And I don't mean the clothes. It seems we had an infestation of yellow jackets inside the wall of our house. Jared came downstairs saying that he is hearing some strange scratching noises inside the wall in his bedroom. That he had banged the wall with the flat of his hand and it actually caved in some, though not completely open. Seems Shannon stuck his thumb into a yellow jacket nest in the wall of Jared's bedroom! We handed him the first of three large cans of spray and back...

Autumn's Eyes: July 2013
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. It has been such an honor to get the chance to see Alex in action at his volunteer job! The intensity of the "people in care" and the love and commitment that Alex shows and gives is just amazing! The camphills allow the special needs people live a life of love, respect, kindness and are all treated the same as any of us should be. With gran mal seizures. They are all around 17 or 18 years of age and sweet, loving and intense as can be! I am so glad that Shannon and I get to see A...

Autumn's Eyes: October 2010
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. There's always something new to experience as a parent but, even though I knew this might happen eventually, I was saddened that it happened so soon. This is one of those things that you cannot truly fix and make better as a parent - you have to watch your son or daughter from the sidelines, giving love when you can, but really, just watching them work through it (hopefully) and eventually moving on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Oh dear I forgot about this. Happy Birthday to Jared.

Autumn's Eyes: Heartbreak. Heartache. Heartfelt.
http://autumneyez.blogspot.com/2015/08/heartbreak-heartache-heartfelt.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. Heartbreak. Heartache. Heartfelt. Around the same time of finding out about Arthur I also had a 16 year friendship end. It was a death of sorts and an adjustment of finding a new path with some new friends. All-in-all an exhausting year 2014. There were many moments in 2014 where I just wanted to fall apart and give up. The hurt in my heart and soul, along with the constant pain with my shoulder and continual push with physical therapy to work through it. In 2 weeks I go back to...
