The Birth Story

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

You may or may not have noticed my prolonged absence from the internet world.
It all began November 9th. I was feeling just horrid. Between the swelling, the itching and everything, I just couldn’t handle it. I finally broke down and called the nurse around 3:30 pm and she suggested I come in just to get [...]

More baby updates

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Well, we went for an ultrasound on Thursday of this past week and I figured it was time to update everyone!
First let me post the pictures

Both babies are measuring just about right on for 18 weeks, so they are growing well. They were both moving and shaking and the tech did not mention anything out [...]

Light a Candle

Friday, July 14th, 2006

Well, we have sad news in our family. Adam’s grandmother (last living grandparent) passed away this morning. She had had a massive stroke a couple days ago and was not concious when she passed. She was so proud of her little Great Grandaughter, Lidia, and I’m glad she had the chance to spend a little [...]

Hail, glass, wagons and boxes

Monday, April 17th, 2006

On Thursday night, a very quiet storm rolled in after a beautiful and warm day. There was a little bit of lightning and the occasional soft thunder rolling across the sky. As we sat down to begin the bed time ritual of a story and snuggles, suddenly there began the sound of a hundred golf [...]

Is it really true?

Sunday, April 16th, 2006

Honestly, it’s hard for me to remember exactly how long it has been since we started this whole family pursuit. I would have to sit down at a calendar and figure it out. In the end, I guess time isn’t that important. I remember month after month of heartbreak–that is until our little Lidia [...]

Little Noses and Big Owies

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Well, we had a bit of excitement here today. Caleb (the little guy I watch) is learning to walk. He is doing wonderfully at this difficult task, but he does fall occasionally. Yesterday, he fell into the coffee table and got a nice straight bruise on his cheek. No serious harm done.
Today, however, [...]

More changes

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

Well the site is now well on it’s way. We’ve gotten our wedding album back up and will be filling out the other albums as we get time to load in the pictures. I’ve also added links to a few other places like our adoption page and my gaming friends site (which is [...]

Site redesign

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

Yes we are finally redoing our home page. Hopefully we’ll get a bit more use out of it and it will be easier to add new things to. Look for more to come and the site to keep changing.
