One year ago today, we received a phone call that my husband’s uncle lost his battle with melanoma.  He was like a second father to my husband.  He mentored him in his Army career being a career Army man himself.  We miss his wit, his kindness–we just miss him.  We loved him so very much.…

Sister has ballet class on Saturdays.  Her instructor does not allow parents to watch but one day a month.  It’s usually the first Saturday.  I usually forget to bring the video camera to record her.  I’ve been wanting to send a copy to Papa.  I had the video camera battery all charged up.  The digital…

Sister came into the world 5 years ago.  She was my easiest C-section.  It’s hard to believe she’s 5.  Where did the time go?  Happy Birthday, my princess.  I love you.

Brother is 8 today.  It hardly seems like more than yesterday that my water broke and we went to the hospital early in the morning.  He came out so big (10lbs 6oz) and surprised us all.  Happy Birthday, Brother!!  I love you, dear boy.

One year ago today, my nephew R was born.  Just hours after his birth he was rushed to the Children’s Hospital with a dangerous infection.  If it were not for the neonatalogist that was present at the hospital (not his day to be there), R would not have made it.  He had group B strep…

It’s hard to believe, but Honey turns 3 today.  Where did the time go?  It seems like just yesterday, I was waiting to have my Csection.  I can still remember feeling so hungry because it had been over 12 hours since my last meal.  Such cruelty to a pregnant woman.  It sure was worth the…

stopped by a trip down memory lane.  I get distracted by those wonderful things like photo albums.  I discovered one I hadn’t looked at since we moved into this house.  It contained pictures of my two oldest months before Honey was born.  Oh, how little they were.  This was before we knew about Brother’s autism. …

Honey woke up from a nap with abdominal pain.  She’s been sick with a stomach virus all week.  It worried me.  She was rolling around on the ground whining away.  I checked her stomach and it was distended and she was very uncomfortable.  I packed a snack, gathered the children and off we went to…
