Letter from Santa
Santa’s annual letter to Grayson (2010 letter and 2011 letter). Dear Grayson,Once again I am writing to you on the evening in which the world awaits the birth of a child. That goes double for you, about-to-be big brotherWaiting is hard, isn’t it? I know you are also waiting for what your new house will…
Thank you
I haven’t felt much like writing this week- it just didn’t seem right to talk about either good or bad things happening in my life right now, when so many families in Connecticut are suffering the worst kind of horror, and right before Christmas. Yesterday I read about one of the little boys who was murdered;…

Tragedy
I’m sitting on my couch, watching CNN, getting more and more angry about the events that unfolded today. It’s senseless. I have no good words, only rambling thoughts.

The ongoing stress trigger…
Goodbye Izzy and Pregnancy Update

Thanksgiving Update and Christmas Card Exchange
We are having a lovely time at my parents’ ranch. The whole experience has been completely different/BETTER than the last time we were here. Grayson has been GREAT- he’s sleeping well, and for the most part, content to listen to his tunes inside or be outside in the jogging stroller or swing. We’ve been eating…
