A Rough Weekend…
I am so thankful for insurance. I know. That is a strange way to start a blog post. What seemed like a normal weekend coming was interrupted on Friday morning when Little Girl woke Daddy and me up in tears. She said she did not feel well and was wobbly and shakey. Day home from school. Although towards the end of …
The Ghost of Adoption…
No matter where I am or what I do there is an invisible person in my life. The car. The house. Church. Always someone else with us. We adopted our girl this past February.

Gymnastic moms…
Gymnastics class. A place for moms and a few dads to sit in absolute quiet (except for the loud talker) and watch our children bend, flip and flop through a large window pane. It is an hour and a half each week where I can sit with my own thoughts (again except for the loud talker) and exhale. While …
