i feel as though i have spent an increasing amount of energy getting groups of professionals to spend a diminishing amount of time with quinn, providing me with more and more far-fetched “plans of attack” for how to deal with his behavioral challenges, while they rule out in mere minutes that any of his challenges . . . → Read More: what would yoda do?

my honey and i took our second annual new years day hike, so i think it’s officially a tradition. at least until we come across a year that isn’t sunny and gorgeous on day one. we bundled up for the cold clear day, walked out the door, down the driveway, and turned onto a logging . . . → Read More: home
