Thursday, March 3rd, 2011First, 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 […]
Repress Repress and Andy Turns Eight Tomorrow
Friday, January 28th, 2011Andy going for a layup (photo by Uncle Matt) 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 […]

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, 2010Happy 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 […]

Mixed-Up Tree
Friday, October 1st, 2010We 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, 2010Â 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 […]
First Week of School Wrap Up
Friday, September 10th, 2010So overall, we’ve had a good first week of school. Andy has done really well and likes his teacher and his class. They had a little run break in the middle of the day the other day and he established himself as the fastest kid in his class and really, what’s more important in second […]
