You must constantly be on your game and watching. I love having two kids and those who know me well know that I want more, but today was our first activity outing with two kids and it really is different watching out for two–even though one isn’t really mobile.
We had an awesome gathering of our [...]
I held Noah for the very first time.
He was very very sick, but it was the most amazing moment ever. Not that holding Zo wasn’t great, but there was something about holding our very first child after everything we had been to to have a child that was so very special and indescribable. He has come a long way [...]
Well, because he is and so is my daughter. I haven’t really thought about how his blackness might make others uncomfortable especially when it comes to describing him.

Just let me say that the plane ride to Ethiopia was absolutely awful–last row, seats so old their [...]
Peepers had her first official check up today at the docs. We went in last Tuesday because she had come home with an ear infection and had a rash all over her belly and chest. The ear infection has cleared up and the rash turned out to be eczema and that has cleared as well.
She [...]
approximately 936 until Peepers joins Minnow away at college. Okay. I’m not really counting down as that would be depressing.
Well, we have been home for a week now and I am just as exhausted as I was the day I arrived home. It is a different tired, but the depth of the tiredness is the [...]
