I haven't needed this space in some time. One day I just ran out of words that needed to spill out and so instead I just come back here to read your words. I cheer you on and watch as lives continue to unfold, just as mine does. Watch children grow up in pictures, as [...]

New Year, Big Goals
I'm a little late to the blogging world but in case you haven't heard, the holidays have come and gone. I'm not going to repeat what everyone else has said about how they slowed down for the holidays and enjoyed special moments with their kids, because we did and it was wonderful and the older [...]
Turning Three
For at least 5 months now, Cora has been asking for the same toy at Target. Every week we go to the baby doll aisle, she picks up the box and stares at it lovingly. She goes over everything that comes in the box, pink baby, diaper, bottle, and binky. Then we say goodbye to [...]

Where the story ends and I begin it
For years now I have had people tell me I should write a book about our journey with Rebecca. What we went through when we were younger, how everything progressed over the years, and where we have landed now. If nothing else, to show people how the system can really be, how tough it is, [...]
