Spring/Easter

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Happy Easter to All.  As you can see from the photos, the boys have been busy.  They had a great Easter morning starting with the treasure hunt for their basket that the Easter Bunny leaves for them.  Charlie, who is usually our late sleeper, popped right up ready to go and rousted everyone out of [...]

March and The Moment

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

First, I should give an update on the boys.  They are good.  They are thriving.  I met with Charlie’s teachers this week for his parent teacher conference and they said how well he is doing and that he is a real leader in his class.   They told me what a detailed and careful artist he is (I couldn’t help [...]

Sorry for the lack of update, I’ve been avoiding it because it’s painful.  I actually have to delve into feelings that day to day I completely repress.  Good news on that front though, Time Magazine did a piece on grief after those awful shootings in Arizona.  It turns [...]

Meredith’s Christmas Pics

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Wanted to post Meredith’s pics up here.  We love them.   We used one of Deb’s pictures of Sam and they turned out so well.  Thanks Deb for being so gracious about letting us use all of your pictures.   Credit to Meredith Brunette (www.meredithbrunettephotography.com) and Deb Schwedhelm (www.debsphotographs.com) two women with an amazing photographic eye who [...]

The Grinch

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

“The Grinch hated Christmas!  The Whole Christmas Season! Now, please don’t ask why.  No one quite knows the reason.  It could be that his head wasn’t screwed on just right.  It could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight.  But I think the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart [...]

Thanksgiving/Bye Week

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Happy Thanksgiving.  Hard to believe I haven’t updated since Halloween.  We have finished up regular season soccer and baseball and Andy is doing All Star soccer and basketball and Charlie is going to be in the basketball draft this Friday.  I’m stage moming him in since he’s only four and he’s supposed to be five [...]

boys on the front of the boat on the way to snorkeling
Sorry for the lack of update. We just got back from six days in Mauii.  We had a great time snorkeling and going down the pool slide and relaxing in general.  We got great tickets through  an Alaskan Airlines promotion and decided we had to go [...]

Mixed-Up Tree

Friday, October 1st, 2010

 We planted a tree in our courtyard for Sam this week.   Neil dug out the big planter that was filled with rock hard dirt and roots and Andy and I picked out the tree and we all planted it.  Charlie and Andy loved mixing up the soil and soaking the hole and using the shovel [...]

School, Baseball, Soccer, Max’s Run, Because of Sam

Friday, September 17th, 2010

 Jenna, Colleen, Lisa and I ran Max’s Run last weekend.  It was great to see the turnout and great to see some of the nurses there and NB families that I hadn’t seen in quite a while – and some I hadn’t ever met.  It was a great event and lots of fun and lots of [...]
