Out of the Attic

God is the madwoman in the attic.
I'm camped out on the threshold with my journal, camera, and plenty of snacks.

memorable day weekend

Two years ago today I learned that I was carrying Baby N.

"I will love you,
forever and for always,
because you are my Dear One."

From Baby N's current favorite book:
Babara M. Joosee & Babara Lavallee (illus.) Mama, Do You Love Me? San Francisco: Chronicle Books. 1991

Jenni: These days my life is filled with my son, my job... hope, train sets, laughter, softening to accept grace, relinquishing my distractions (maybe just 1 to start) to give spirit a little more room, clean but-not-folded laundry, thrift store shopping, fatigue, calling my sister & texting my mother, adaptation, snapping photos of beautiful ordinary life. & love.

Little N is On the Spectrum

On November 30, 2010 my son, Little N, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The months leading up to that were a long process of evaluations and an early intervention program. Today, we continue to work with Little N to both give him the skills to navigate the world of neurotypical folks and to share in his unique exploration of the world as he meets it.
