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? CNN will be back visiting us in the Hospital on delivery day to get some images to wrap the story, but … Continue reading
Summing It Up
They came, we conquered and I’m exhausted beyond words. So tired, in fact, that I haven’t even been able to motivate to write this as I’ve been admiring my swollen ankles and actually taking naps! 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.
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
Beautiful Coincidence
We scheduled our daughters delivery, via C-section, weeks ago. The date worked well with our summer schedules and it was also the date my OB was available. Aside from that, it’s simply been a date on our calendars and a date we are all excitedly counting down to. Through the course of conversation via email, … Continue reading
To Overcome
I, and we have overcome quite a bit these last few years. Obviously the brain tumor is on the top of the list, but the list is long and filled with a lot of challenges we or I’ve managed to overcome. To say the journey is complete, there are no daily challenges or emotional … Continue reading
One On One
I took Tucker, who just turned 8, to NYC this past weekend as our gift to him. He has wanted to go to NYC for years and this year it just seemed right. He is old enough to remember the adventures and to put it simply, he deserved the trip and we were able to … Continue reading
Number 8
April 29, 2003 Tucker was born and I became a mother. What a day that was. That momentous day eight years ago was the beginning of a new chapter for Paul and I as we began a life voyage as parents. Today as I contemplate these past eight years and the joy that has filled our lives, I have to reflect on how much has … Continue reading
