This past fall, Lyra completed her second soccer season. While she enjoyed the excitement and her success in moments like in the pictures above, overall, it was not a great soccer season. It was more discouraging and depressing. And unfortunately, there were many more moments like in this next picture, than the ones above. :( [...]

Most everyone knows how I feel about the word “albino”. It’s no secret that I avoid it like the plague. And I’ve never been one to keep my opinions to myself, see Here and Here.

FINALLY! Here is Lyra’s IEP for next year. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s okay…for now. We’ll see how things go once school starts. I’ve been feeling like a total slacker as a parent lately.

On more than one occasion I have heard other parents of children with albinism ask the following question: At what age should we tell our child he/she has albinism? This question really boggles my mind. It’s a legitimate question, just not one that we ever had to ask. Lyra knows she has albinism, but there [...]

Not much of anything new and exciting happening lately. Lyra’s doing great in preschool! There haven’t been any changes in her vision. Lyra’s just been busy being Lyra. Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com

This past week Lyra got 10 1/2 inches of her hair cut off. Her hair had grown SOOO long, to the point of being unmanageable, and she desperately needed a haircut. We figured if there was ever a time her hair would be long enough to donate, this was it. It’s not something we really [...]
