A Trip to the ER

Unfortunately, this trip to the emergency room was to Children’s Hospital.
I heard a terrible, panicked screaming outside from Christian and rushed to the door to be met with my son, blood absolutely pouring out of his mouth.
I tried to stay calm and ask him what he had done and I made out that he [...]

A Very Merry Christmas!

Despite the injured wing, we managed to have a lovely Christmas here. My faithful and gracious mother-in-law flew out to help out with things since I am on the sidelines for a bit. She has made things so much better and I am grateful to have her here. 
Here are some pictures of the big day:

Back on the ground…

A Little Linky Love

My friend Jenna wrote this incredible book review about a book I passed along to her.
Her honesty and openness about the way she once felt about motherhood is something I think many moms can identify with, whether they like to admit it or not.

The Weather Outside is….

I enjoy it though. Yeah, call me weird or even stupid, but I love that sort of bone chilling cold. It just makes everything absolutely crisp and fresh. It makes me feel [...]

7 pounds

No, not the newest movie by Will Smith. I’m the mother of an eight month old, I don’t get to see movies.
This is the amount of weight I’ve lost since the day before Thanksgiving.
Ok, so seven pounds isn’t THAT much weight compared to the umpteen trillion I have left to go but consider the [...]

Neener Neener

My husband is upstairs making me a delicious mushroom and bacon risotto. Yeah, that’s right, my husband is cooking for me while I sit in my chair with my fabulous little electric throw on me.
Don’t cry too hard.

I am over the moon….

because I saw the orthopedic surgeon guy and I have been given the go ahead to swim again! Freestyle!!!!
A year ago, I re-injured my shoulder for the 7th time by sweeping the floor. I was pregnant with Lily at the time so the darn hormones made my shoulder joint lax.
After 6 weeks of [...]
