August 8th

This day, every year, brings me so much joy. Twelve years ago, Keith and I got married. And 9 years ago, our first boy was born. I could reminisce for hours, write the whole story from start to now. But, I won't. Not now anyway. I will say that the past 12 years have been so wonderful, full of fun, and that Keith is the most amazing husband any wife could ever ask for. I know most would say the same about their own, but I truly believe there is no one better. And for our oldest child? You won't find a more kind, tender-hearted boy on this planet. Nope. You wouldn't even come close.



Nine. It's a big, scary number when you're a parent. It's halfway. Yep. In nine too quickly passing years, he'll be an adult. As hard as it is to think about, if the next nine are as good as the first, I can't wait!

Happy Birthday Tucker!!

Surgery Rescheduled!

Well, I thought today would have me nursing our little girl back to
health after her surgery. But, since Mia did not have her surgery
yesterday, today finds me unpacking our hospital bags, cleaning up
around the house and planning the start of our school year, all with
the ever familiar sound of SpongeBob in the background.

So, what happened? Our little one has a thyroid that sometimes acts up. Yesterday her levels were off just enough to pose a risk. The
anethesiologist did not feel comfortable and wanted to postpone surgery until
her thyroid is once again more stable. Hopefully, we will be rescheduled in a few weeks.

We will keep you all updated when we know more. Thank you for all of
the prayers for Mia and our family during her surgery that wasn't. :)
