Monday, May 17th, 2010Last Friday marked nine weeks and the 12th last week was two months.  We have been to two nights of grief counseling so far. The first night we all just did an art project as a family and the boys liked that and the second night we just sat around and talked about what we […]
A Gold Balloon
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Andy and Charlie at the Lego store at Disneyland Sam running ahead at age one Since I can’t really bring myself to post pictures of the boys without pictures of Sam, I’m going to post a picture from Sam’s All Star slide show or pictures that people send that I hadn’t seen yet to go […]
Fragile
Monday, April 26th, 2010We are doing all right. The boys are keeping us going. Andy has had basketball and soccer and playdates and has started the chess club and Charlie has had swimming and scooter playdates with Jett where they ride their new spark scooters (scooters that actually throw out sparks when you hit the brakes -great for fire prone California). […]
Sam’s All-Star Party — The Highlight Video and Debut of Sam’s YouTube Channel
Sunday, April 18th, 2010Here’s the link to Sam’s YouTube page. It’s teamsamhutchison because teamsam wasn’t available. Also, Uncle Matt who worked tirelessly on this video has DVD’s for those who would like one. His email address is newsdr@aol.com We were trying to get the video up here but it was too big. We’ll be adding the slideshow and some […]
Four Weeks
Friday, April 9th, 2010Today marks four weeks. I spent the morning in tears re-reading my black journal. I call it my black journal because it is black but also because it contains my very first entries after Sam was diagnosed and it is crushingly sad and it made me cry my eyes out. Why would I do this to myself? […]
Wow!
Sunday, April 4th, 2010It’s all we can say about today. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. The outpouring of support from the community to make Sam’s All-Star Party a special day has us overwhelmed. We have photos and video we will upload but we did want to quickly say ‘thanks’ – a HUGE ‘thanks’ to everyone who attended and […]
A Million Artichokes
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Maureen and Neil were in the car last night with the boys while I ran into Vons for something and they were talking with the boys about pizza. Maureen said she like artichokes and pepperoni on her pizza and then she said Sam really like artichokes and Andy answered “I don’t like artichokes but I would […]

WE LOVE those so please, please take a moment and rummage through your picture file or hard-drive. You will bring a smile to a very saddened family. CALLING ALL […]
Numb and Fun
Sunday, March 28th, 2010We’re in Palm Springs – we had to get away for a few days and through the kindness of friends and strangers, we have had a great time together as a family. We only wanted to post a quick note since many are wondering how we’re doing and we’re not communicating much since we’re a […]
Scrapbooking help for Sam’s All-Star Party on April 3rd
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Quick funny story – two days ago, Andy and Charlie were playing Mario Tennis and Andy achieved a level he’d never reached – he yelled “I KNEW Sam would give me his powers! I just knew it!”. Sam was a master at all videogames and we’re glad he’s channeling his skills to his younger brother. […]
