We all know the story of how there was no room at the inn. Well, apparently the manger was pretty packed too!

As we celebrate Thanksgiving and reflect during this season of gratitude we have some thoughts, deep thoughts. We are grateful that Sam and Max have not completely learned how to rewire the wheelchair.  Yes, they are capable of adjusting the leg rests, but one can’t sweat the small stuff. We are grateful that both of […]

Sam doesn’t give up kisses easily, so we were all a bit surprised (and a little uncomfortable) when he started smooching with the neighbor’s stuffed pumpkin person. Hey, don’t judge him until you’ve tried it! [singlepic id=150 w=320 h=240 float=center]

We are so happy to congratulate Uncle Dan aka “Daddy-To-Be” and Aunt Jenny aka “Mommy-to-Be” on their upcoming arrival. Jenny’s due date just so happens to be a date we think is pretty special. I know two boys who would love to share a birthday with “Patrick Swayze Nicholson!” Please Note: The name Patrick Swayze […]
