Quit making babies all over the place!
Yeah, I’ve seen ya. We’ve all seen ya. In the park, on the street, in window boxes, pots and planters, even [...]

We are still waiting on my niece, Pinky’s lab results to come back. The results will determine whether or not she is a candidate for the heart transplant she needs to survive. It is in this limbo that I find myself trying to eat my [...]

I will hold your hand as you toddle around.
You will ride a bike.
You will see a rainbow.

You will “moo” like a cow.
I believe that you will.
I have [...]

I called yesterday’s post “Words”, because that is all they are.
Words which once seemed to be so powerful, fall meaningless from my head to the keys. For what can words do for you? But….

My niece is being helicoptered into a hospital here in Louisville.
1/4 of her heart muscles are not currently functioning.
She is going to be placed in the NICU of the best children’s hospital in the area.
She is 21 days old today.
I will be at the hospital when she arrives.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday.
We skipped church to go over to our friend’s for brunch and an egg hunt. The Bear insisted on dressing up anyway.
And then he got out a baby suit for E.
We had a good day, I hope you did too!

I had Eazy- E blocked in the living room this morning. He was busying himself with books that have rip-able pages and content so I snuck off to put a load of laundry in and pee.
While I’m in the bathroom, I hear him realize that I was gone and he starts to fuss, which becomes [...]
