2020—Year in Review
I feel like a train wreck is a suitable image for 2020. Oh, what a year! None of us will forget this one for a very long time. We all know the global craziness—the fires in Australia, the police killings … Continue reading
Origins
I don’t remember how much of what happened last fall I posted here—not much, I think—but I’m sure I haven’t written about this yet. But, after my last post about how Grace has so much anxiety, it seemed fitting to … Continue reading

Babies
Wow, it has been a while since I’ve posted! Sorry about that. For those of you who were left wondering after the last post, we actually had a remarkable thing happen at the hospital. Grace was very, very sick on … Continue reading
Crappy Birthday
When I turned 21, I had a massive bladder infection and couldn’t drink. I thought that was the worst birthday ever. And really, at 21, it probably seemed like the end of the world to have my plans suddenly get … Continue reading
Me, In The Middle Of Tuesday
It’s been a long day. Today started out like any other Tuesday. I got up, got the kids ready for school, got them on the bus, got myself ready, and went to work. It was a fairly productive work day, … Continue reading
