We had a truly boring day. It barely warrants a blog post here. But for the sake of continuity… Alarms went off at 5AM and we packed up the car. We hoped Millie would go back to sleep in the car but after an hour and a sunrise, no dice. We handed over the iPad…

We had a very slow start today. Nick had tummy troubles and I woke up feeling really stiff and sore. I have a type of arthritis in my back which has started acting up because I was unable to pack enough of my beloved refrigerated injectable medicine. I have started my back-up meds so hopefully…

We found a hip little…

Roooouuugh travel day today. Nothing majorly bad, just a tough day to be a 4 year old. And the parents of a 4 year old. Here’s how I see it. Every day we wake up with a patience tank. Millie’s tank is small, because she is small. When she is tired, like today, she wakes…
