Ugh… the number 37 is making me feel rather old… only three more years until the big 40! Ah! Nevertheless, it’s been a fantastically simple and wonderful birthday and one filled with lots of laughter! Taking advantage of Paul being home for the holiday, I slept in. Or at least I slept in a little bit after … Continue reading

Hope Springs Forth
Today is a very exciting day. A day I’ve been watching on the horizon as it slowly made its way closer. As a patient, it’s a day I’ve eagerly awaited to arrive for what it represents and a moment I’ve been eager to see happen for selfish reasons. Reasons I hope never come to fruition, yet are a part of our reality, … Continue reading
Counting To Three
Life has all but consumed me whole lately. I run and run and run again until I can’t run anymore. Then I repeat. Running is of course a metaphor for (to name a few)… carpool, laundry, cooking, cleaning, feeding constantly hungry and growing boys, nursing a baby, changing diapers, feeding dogs, grocery shopping, homework helping, … Continue reading
Questions And Answers
I’m surprised it took this long, yet considering how contemplative he is, I suppose I shouldn’t be. Paul and I watched the shorter TV CNN segment with Tucker a few times the weekend it aired multiple times. Each time, we watched him with eagle eyes for any appearance of concern, worry or confusion as our … Continue reading
No Ordinary Weekend
Our weekends are ordinarily spent riding bikes, playing on baseball fields and adventuring around Atlanta. However, once a year we make an effort, along with nearly a half-million others, to hit up downtown Atlanta for a day of football, concerts, playing in the park and not to be missed… the sights of Dragon Con. … Continue reading
Chaotic Circus
Well, HELLO! Did you think I dropped off the face of the earth since I’ve been radio silent around here? Truth be told I feel like I dropped off the edge myself. I finally got here and am re-familiarizing myself with the second floor of my house, my office and my computer. Just as disorganized as it … Continue reading
Saying Yes
It would be fair to say that 16 years ago when I left Lafayette College and transferred to Purdue University that I ever expected to re-connect on the level I have in recent years, months and weeks with former friends and sorority sisters. Regardless of the reasons and circumstances surrounding how so many of us have … Continue reading
We Say Thank You
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
