It’s been quite a week and I’m physically, mentally and emotionally drained. Between the anticipation of the segment airing on Tuesday AM to the highs and lows of the commentary that followed, Paul and I wanted to reach out and say thank you. We sincerely appreciate the support we have received. We knew when CNN approached … Continue reading

Our CNN Debut
The CNN piece is a wrap. Baby Harper joined our ranks a mere 36 hours after filming and the last words from my interview with Sanjay were uttered. Photos have been taken, my blog has been written and submitted to the editors and the producers have pieced it all together. Now we count down the minutes. It’s … Continue reading
Emerging From The Fog With Wings
We’re one week into our new life as a family of five, and thus far, from what I can remember of our week, it’s not been too bad. Aside from one day we’ll just file away as an epic fail, we’re plugging along and grabbing sleep when we can. Clearly, Harper splurges on sleep more … Continue reading
Harper
What was supposed to be a lazy family Friday night, chowing down on our favorite local pizza on the couch and getting ready to watch baseball together, turned into something entirely different. From the moment the CNN cameraman and producer walked out my door on Thursday, my body started screaming at me. To say that I was exhausted from race weekend and getting … Continue reading
The Interview
Is a wrap! I can officially put my feet up, relax and count the remaining days until we welcome ‘lil miss on Aug. 8th. 11 days to be exact… What? You think I’m counting or something?

That’s tired folks. I’ve actually embraced the state of being lazy and damn it is a beautiful place! 12 days and counting… then no more … Continue reading
Old Boots Get A New Life
They’re at least 15 years old, broken beyond repair and recently retired to a corner in the basement. A young ambitious 6-year-old boy dug them out today, laced them up and set off to find his daddy on a mission to put them back to work. Considering the miles and history, these are some big boots to fill. Enjoy the pictorial.
A Dirty Milkshake
In a day filled with trips to an endless list of stores for everything from food to school supplies, a two-hour break for a tapas lunch with a dear friend and multi-tasking like a bandit, I couldn’t squash my craving for a chocolate milk shake. I needed it. Really, I did. What the hell are … Continue reading
Number 6
A character with fierce independence and a warm and loving heart. Our Cooper is 6 today. Where did the years go? Cheers to you my former baby! May you continue to grow and grace us with your smiles, antics, enough chaos to keep us on our toes and the abundance of love that you exude … Continue reading
Young Charitable Hearts
They’ve been asking for over a year to have a lemonade stand and while we’ve supported their idea, we had to be sure they understood that while we live off of a main road, our little street barely gets any traffic. Expectations were set fairly low, but we were optimistic and encouraging nevertheless. A right of passage … Continue reading
