Details coming together for the Born Just Right Meetup
I’m so excited to see some of the details coming together for our Born Just Right meetup on July 20th. I’m trying to get more details finalized and looking for ways to help keep our expenses down. What is super remarkable? We already have 34 people (including entire families) who are attending! Want to sign…
Read More +Little vacation discoveries
We are in vacation mode… We drove 24 hours in two days, picked up a kayak along the way and have consumed many lobster. It’s an excellent start for an extended stay in Maine. The fun part about vacation is you don’t have as many things on the schedule and you can just try out…
Read More +The End of Simplicity
No one tells you that as your kids get bigger, life doesn’t get more simple. It gets much more complicated. Each year, my kids get more active and delve into more activities and adventures. I celebrate and support the piano, guitar, robotics, dance, softball, soccer, swimming, track and whatever else tends to come up in…
Read More +A Chicago Adventure
The kids had a four day weekend and for the first time in a long time, I had a chance to take advantage of those extra days and take the kids on an adventure. I thought it would be a fun chance to visit my favorite city and have a chance for Jordan to meet…
Read More +Happy Holidays from the Reeves
We’re celebrating Christmas with my parents this holiday season. The kids are so excited… So much so that I caught Jordan working a little too hard investigating who gets what gift this morning. We’ve enjoyed the wonderful weather and Jordan went swimming two days in a row. You can’t do that in the Midwest during…

We’re wrapping up a long weekend with family… and I have to say how very blessed and thankful to have the love and support of our family. Not only did I have a chance to take a big nap or two and work on some family holiday stuff on my computer, the kids and the…
Read More +Rockin' to Springsteen (aka Jordan's First E-Street Concert)
Jordan’s dad is a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. His first show was in 1984… Since then, he’s seen The Boss 40+ times. It only seems fitting for our kids to experience a Springsteen show during their youth. Cameron’s first show was when he was six years old… So we decided to let six-year-old Jordan and…
Read More +Who is this Big Kid?
I jumped into a new job and thanks to Superstorm Sandy, I ended up in Washington, DC an extra five days thanks to delays caused by the storm. That left me away from the family for nine days. It was a super long time to be away. Any amount of distance can leave me mystified…
Read More +Active, healthy and tired
First I want to thank everyone for the incredible outpouring of support after my post a couple of days ago. Parenting a child with a limb difference is a little different, but I think every kid has wondered if they are the kid their parent wanted. I know I wouldn’t want either of my kids…
Read More +A beautiful day
Our family feels a little closer to complete… Even though we’ve been without my mother-in-law since the end of February. August 12th will forever be a special day for all of us. The wedding between my brother-in-law, Barry and my now sister-in-law, Jenn was fabulous. Spending a few extra days with the kids’ new cousins…
