The state of things…

Good morning!
Well, there are is some good news to report from our home front this morning. The leaky pipe in our basement is fixed. YAHOO!! The plumber finally got here three hours after he said he would yesterday, but at least he got here and got the leak properly fixed at last. That’s great news!

Good Mornin’, Mornin’!

I am smiling as I read the title of my post. I got that saying from my Uncle Lawrence years ago. We used to go on an annual camping trip every summer as a family. My mom, brother and I went along with my grandparents (mom’s parents) and her brother, Uncle Lawrence. Lawrence was always [...]

Is it naptime yet?!

{{{Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn}}
Well, Mariana didn’t have a great night last night. That, of course, means neither did I. Not sure what was exactly wrong, but she didn’t sleep well. She woke up fussing/crying quite a few times through the night. She was a touch more congested than she had been, so maybe that was it.  I seem [...]

Update on Mariana…

Mariana’s surgery was this morning. I am happy to report that she has been home since around 12:45pm (EST) today and is really doing quite well.
Mariana was such a little trooper today. Seriously, a rock star patient! She couldn’t eat anything this morning and she only had a little bit of apple juice prior to [...]

Pray for Baby Stellan…

Please pray for Stellan and his family. His mom is MckMama and she has been updating about his condition when possible. If you don’t know the back story, Stellan was diagnosed with a heart problem in utero and his family was told that he would not be born healthy and probably would not even survive. [...]

Bottle It Up

Today is another BEAUTIFUL day. It’s approaching 80 outside (if not a little over 80) and the day is just gorgeous. It’s a day that I want to bottle up and save. I especially wish I could save it knowing that this week is supposed to start cooling off and it’s supposed to stay cool [...]

Quick Post-Op Report…

Macey’s surgery was yesterday.
The abridged version of the story is that the surgeon was pleased with everything. He confirmed that the cyst was a benign Thyroglossal Cyst and he was able to remove all of it in addition to a piece of bone where it was attached.
Macey did extremely well through the surgery and her [...]
