Time

Time.

Fast years and long slow days.

Duck parks, playground structures and   car rides. 

Chaos and lots of laughter. 

Silly songs and sweet treats.

Bedtime stories and early mornings.

So. Many. Snacks. 

Tiny accomplishments woven in to lots of hard work. 

Moments of grief alongside hope. 

New friends who become family. 

In 2025 we will celebrate 5 years in our home, Audrey’s 10th birthday and our 13th wedding anniversary.  

Time passes regardless, might as well make the best of it.

Hi there! I am a special needs mom to a beautiful, sweet girl. Audrey has a mutation on her CASK Gene. This is a rare genetic disorder that effects her globally. It has caused a seizure disorder as well as gross motor, fine motor and speech delays. A Microcephaly diagnosis comes along with it as well. Our last 8 years have been filled with therapy, learning about our daughter's disorder and also learning to cope while finding joy. Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey. For more information on the CASK Gene, please visit my Instagram @alvesmomkickingCASK.
