As we checked the weather for the week, we noticed that it was predicted to be cooler (highs in the low 90s) earlier in the week. We decided to take advantage of the cooler weather with a trip to the Phoenix Zoo. In addition to observing the animals, the excursion included a train ride around [...]

After our long winter lock-down the Draz Fam has really looked forward to the first vacation of the year. On Saturday, May 5, we packed. We now have this down to a system. Jay packs all of Drew’s equipment, prescription meds and formula in bags we take on board. We use one (big) suitcase for [...]

The children were so excited that Grandpa D came to celebrate his birthday. They planned a party complete with cake and candles. Drew wanted it to be a surprise, but finally agreed that if Grandpa knew about it ahead of time he could choose what kind of cake he wanted. As usual, Karli wasn’t shy [...]

There were two videos shot on Easter at the cousin’s house that I didn’t include on the Easter post. First is one of Karli and daddy having fun: The other video shows a very proud Drew who finds he is able to pull the trigger on a toy gun: Personally I am not a fan [...]

The children had been counting the days until Easter. When it finally arrived, it certainly lived up to the high expectations. The preparations began long before the big day as the children dyed eggs and did Easter crafts. On Sunday afternoon everyone headed to the cousins’ house. The next video includes images–in random order–from the [...]

Yesterday morning at about 9:30 Drew, Karli and I headed for Gillette to see three of Drew’s docs and one technician. Ryan was distraught that he couldn’t come with us, but we felt he shouldn’t miss school since he’ll be missing two weeks in May when we go to Phoenix. We were scheduled to be [...]

The smencils (scented pencils) arrived! The grippies have been officially replaced. After Ry opened the package I received a big hug. Then he shared the scents with his sibs. Most of Ryan’s precious possessions are either writing utensils or have something to do with writing. I find this very interesting since his small motor coordination [...]
