We are those annoying dog people. The people who treat their dog like a human, like a child. A spoiled rotten child. Our two-year old black lab, Fenway, has been our baby for the past two years and she damn well knows it. Many people have expressed their concern over us preparing her for the [...]

28 Weeks – Long Weekend Away
Last weekend we took a 3 day weekend with Rebecca and went a few hours south. This trip was originally planned months ago with 4 other families to a water park. The three of us planned to go on our own to a baseball game while we were down there as well. Originally, I thought [...]
27 Weeks – GD Testing
The joy of hitting 27 weeks (or around there for some) in a pregnancy is the lovely gestational diabetes test. If you don't know exactly what this is about then I can tell you it is where you drink an orange drink and more of you will nod your head in understanding. If you still [...]

“It Is During Our Darkest Moments That We Must Focus to See the Light.”
Start here for Rebecca's story Box by box we put our life away. Tucked neatly into bubble wrap to head to a place we were both dreading. An apartment that neither of us wanted but it was the only option. We were sure it would only be a short six months and we would get it [...]
The Aftermath
I realize in the movies or TV shows, when a big dramatic ending is over, usually that means the end completely. They don’t show the actors going home and dealing with the aftermath.
