We are the Millers

Well it's been ages since I've actually published a blog post (since March to be exact).  I have quite a few sitting in my drafts just waiting to be finished but I just never seem to have the time or the energy.  But I've had some things weighing on me lately that I finally felt the need to sit down, write out and share. Two months ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and a severe vitamin d deficiency.  A week ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease along with my vitamin d deficiency.  I went from no diagnosis to one irritating diagnosis to an even more irritating auto-immune disease diagnosis.  It's been a bit of a whirlwind but I'm actually relieved that I finally have an answer to what has been going on because it's been going on for a long time.  Let's look back.

She finally asked to get her ears pierced!  I have nothing against people who pierce their baby's ears, but we always said we would wait until she was old enough to make the decision for herself and could take of the healing herself.  She fin

Ashlyn turned 7! I'm not sure how this happened.  How have I been a parent for 7 years already?  How did my sweet, little, easy-going baby turn into a sassy 7 year old?  I can't stand it!
