Where do you live?
San Diego, CA
What Makes You Laugh
Our youngest, Laura, is our entertainment a lot of the time. She gets us laughing until we cry. Emily turning into a "teen ager" is pretty humerous as well.
Favorite Sports Team
We have baseball and football on the t.v. a lot. Laura played softball this year and is moving onto soccer. Emily is planning on getting into sports more next year at middle school. We love to go camping every spring and summer and spend as much time outside as possible
What Helps You Get Through
Knowing each day is different and taking one day at a time or one minute at a time is good for us. So far "this too shall pass" works in our little world. And we are working on "this is the best day ever" as much as we can.
Favorite Meal
We like taco night where everyone can put together what they want... Pizza night with movie night and popcorn goes over well.
Helpful Resources
Diabuddies here in San Diego has helped Emily look at the bigger picture with friends that have had diabetes for more than 10 years. Facebook connections with other parents of diabetics has helped me look at the hard days and the good days in a different light.
