We moved to Truckee, CA in the fall of 1999 and bought our condo in Incline Village, NV in early 2000. Although we're living in our 4th house in Incline, we've lived here since then. 17 1/2 years! And if our current home weren't on the market (by the owner, we're just renting it!) nd our …
Tonight is the last night of Spring Break and I'm happily typing in a not clean house but with lots of veggies prepped in the fridge, a week of kindergarten planned and ready to go and of course, a small snowstorm on the horizon. Spring hasn't really sprung yet in Tahoe, which made last week …
This is an assessment that Zack has taken at least 5 times that I can count off the top of my head. He took it last summer when he was first starting speech therapy at UNR and again today as he is re-entering as a new patient. Tami and I were present at both and …
I don't recommend that you move out of your house and into a new classroom in a new school at the same time. It wasn't planned to occur in the same weeks but here we are.. This weekend I'll take a break from school and focus solely on moving into the new house. If you …
I've been having nightmares about returning to the classroom. The more I read about best teaching practices, participate in voxer book clubs about education books, talk with friends about their classrooms, the more clear and severe my nightmares are. In the most recent one, I was picking up two children at a time (by their …
This snowy morning I got to meet more parents of incoming kindergarteners of my new school, the Lake Tahoe School. I was anxious because I've never been to a meet the teacher coffee before and in this case, I was the teacher. I was anxious because being the center of adult attention is one of my …
As I posted on facebook this past weekend, we just passed a year of Zack's first weekend in the hospital. He was admitted to Renown in Reno after a ct scan in Truckee showed a subdural hematoma. We saw Dr. Lynch (our future neurosurgeon, Dr. Perry's, partner) in the icu, had a visit from an …
Today while running, my friend Vicky was talking about how Lake Tahoe will be so cold this summer because of our big snow year. Regardless of how cold the lake is, I rarely swim in it. I'm mostly content sitting on a big rock watching Zack and Molly (dog) swim and chase tennis balls. I …
Recently on the site I have to help friends and family keep up with Zack's progress, I reported that his speech therapist said he's at 60% functional language with gestures, writing and tech support (i.e. autofill on a smart phone). Several people texted and emailed to ask what 60% is. Good question. I pondered it and …
I don't have a lot of pictures that show how windy some of our ski days have been because when it's that windy, I don't take my mittens off to take pictures! But as we're expecting another change in the weather tonight and tomorrow, there was plenty of wind on today's morning ski. For some time now I've …
