I’ve been working on this one for a few days. I know that’s really sad but life is good and I’ve been very present in it lately. Sometimes that takes me away from writing and that’s okay. ☺ Mr. Emmett turned thirteen years old this weekend. He’s had a really good birthday, albeit a bit …

I pushed the limits of my comfort level a bit but I think we did good
Elliott’s birthday was largely successful. I think it was anyway. After the boys finished class for the day, I got them over to see Lizze and we hung out in the driveway for about twenty minutes. Everyone was double masked and socially distanced. The boys were able to get hugs from their mom that’s always …

First things first, Happy Birthday Elliott

Happy Birthday 12th Elliott
It was twelve years ago today, that I experienced the most amazing and most terrifying moments of my life, at least up to that point. Mr. Elliott was born on March 4, 2008 after a very difficult pregnancy. Lizze was nothing less than a hero for how hard she fought to bring him into this …

It all started 18 years ago, at 10:52 AM
There are days that arrive and bring with them a profound sense of consternation. For me personally, today was one of those rare days in my life. There are many reasons why today has so much meaning but I want to focus on the single, most important one. On January 18, 2000 at 10:52 AM, …
