Lately I’ve been thinking about why I created the category on this site called Dominick and Rebekah. At the same time, I’ve been thinking about or feeling like lately I’ve been spending an enormous amount of my time focused on Lyra’s needs and neglecting the needs of Dominick and Rebekah. Have they noticed? I’m sure [...]

These are the kinds of things that Daddies teach their babies… You can never have too many videos of Lyra. : ) This is her showing off her new trick; and then later, just plain showing off. Here are the lyrics to the song she is attempting to sing. It is our special version of [...]

Lyra’s hair has started looking rather dingy. I can think of no other word to describe it. YES, I do wash my child’s hair. I just don’t think the baby shampoo is going to cut it anymore. Her hair just has this slight yellowish/grayish tint to it lately. I know it’s not her hair gaining [...]

Although I haven’t been that vocal about it on this site, albinism awareness is something that is extremely important to me. One topic in particular that I have very strong opinions about is how albinism is portrayed on TV shows and in movies. I will educate everyone I know or ever meet in the hopes [...]

My baby girl is on the cover of a magazine!!! I wrote an article for the latest issue of Albinism Insight, a quarterly magazine published by NOAH. I had included some pictures to go with the article, but her picture being on the cover was a complete surprise. We were all very excited when we [...]

My daughter Rebekah is 11 years old. I have a unique and special relationship with her that different than my relationship with Dominick and Lyra. Part of this is because I was very young when I had her and in many ways we grew up together. Consequently, I am quite protective of her and cautious [...]

Dominick is 5 years old. Dominick is my sweet baby boy, definitely a mama’s boy. He is laid back and untroubled, witty and random. Until recently he hasn’t really asked questions related to Lyra’s albinism. When she was born, we talked to him about it, but not in great detail. He was 4, so he [...]
