Over the weekend, Kay played another game of T-ball, and this time they also took Fall Ball pictures! I was able to stand by as Kay posed in front of a backdrop, and I can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out. Eventually, they’ll create a personalized player card for Kay, which we’ll get…
Kay’s school recently hosted their Pre-K Fall Festival, and it was such a fun time with various games and activities. Kay even got to wear her costume! Initially, she wasn’t too sure about wearing it, even though she picked it out herself this year. Thankfully, once we arrived at school, her mood brightened, but we…
Kay recently caught her first cold since being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. While it wasn’t a major illness, I quickly realized how even a mild cold could impact her blood sugar. In the days leading up to her cold, her blood sugars were consistently high, and no matter what I tried, they wouldn’t come…
Saturday brought another exciting T-Ball game for Kay! Even though it’s still hot in Vegas, I’m hopeful the weather will start cooling down by next week—something I’m looking forward to! Kay loves playing T-Ball and being outdoors, but the heat can make it tough for everyone to fully enjoy. Thankfully, the league provides buddies, when…

Another weekend means another T-ball game for Kay! We’re on to the second game of the season, and the heat is still relentless. Saturday’s game was a bit quicker since we were missing a few team members—understandable given the hot weather. Watching Kay play and have fun is such a joy, especially when she…
Kay now has an insulin pump! This is such an exciting milestone; one I’ve been eager to reach. Since Kay is still so young and newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, her insulin needs can change from day to day. When giving her shots, I was limited by how much insulin I could safely administer.…
T-Ball is back, and we couldn’t be more excited! Last season was Kay’s first time playing, and she had such a blast that I knew we had to sign her up for the fall ball season. Opening day was a hit, and Kay had an amazing time! Despite the warm weather, we made the most…
Kay’s school kicked off the year with its first family engagement event! These events happen several times throughout the school year, and each one offers something new. This time, the local fire department paid a visit! Since the fire station is right next door to the school, a few firefighters stopped by with their fire…
Kay had her six-month checkup with the ENT, which is usually a quick but necessary visit. Since Kay has smaller ears, she’s more prone to ear infections, and too many could mean needing ear tubes. Thankfully, while she’s had a few infections, it’s not enough to require tubes yet—good news! During the appointment, the…
