Those Crazy Dimmick’s

As I was searching for resources to help me better explain Ellis’ PANS condition to her friend’s parents, I came across these amazing handouts. I shared them with Ellis and she immediately wanted to share them with all of her friends. She posted them on a 5th grade group chat she’s a part of and…

Kicked off March with Cane’s Fest for Brooks at Rocker B, which just so happens to be an awesome baseball facility about 15 minutes from our lake house! He’s getting to catch again with this “new” team! Ellis captured this beautiful rainbow on her iPad! His team had a cookout after their games! Why does…

First weekend of February kicked off with our favorite days of the year…Friday was the Daddy/Daughter Dance and Saturday was the Mommy/Son Dance! Per usual, Ellis would not let me help her with her hair or makeup, but again, I love that fierce independence! She still insists that Daddy can’t see her dress before the…

Kids couldn’t wait to try out their new scooters at this amazing skate park right by our house! Of course Shep had no fear and just went for it! Ended the Holiday Break celebrating my tennis teammates 40th birthday in Fort Worth! These were my awesome and so much fun roomies for the night! Megan,…

Christmas Eve morning we started with our yearly tradition of decorating cookies for Santa! Oreo wanted in on the fun too! We went to the candlelight service at church in the early evening!

Right before Halloween Ellis had her first “mini” panic attack at bedtime, and we couldn’t figure out what brought it on. She did have a few incidences/fights with friends where she was being more impulsive than…

Love my “Big Girl Balls” tennis team! We ran into our old Coach from last season, whom we affectionately call, “Dad”, even though he’s 15-20 years younger than most of us, lol! Didn’t win a single match this season, but I most definitely improved, and most importantly, had a blast! Always the first to kick…

We started September off watching Ellis’ sweet friend, Savannah, get baptized! I love that Ellis wanted to support and be there for her friend, and that she got to witness such a special moment! I took these cuties to watch a Taylor Swift cover band at PGA Frisco. It’s such a cool area, but man…
