Vegas, Baby… Part II
Kenny loves Vegas. Is it the casinos? Nope – he can’t stand being strolled through those… and that makes it pretty hard to get around here, by the way… Is it the showgirls? Not that either, I don’t think he’s into the miniskirts yet… Could it be the exquisite restaurants and designer shopping…

Vegas, Baby
Tomorrow Kenny and I are setting off to Las Vegas! Ok, we’re tagging along with Casey on a business trip, but as we’ll be on our own for the bulk of our time there, I’m starting to mentally prepare for the adventures of entertaining a 25-pound monkey for three days on the Strip. …

In Praise of My Better Half
Tonight I need to write a little about my husband. He is my best friend, and I have been so caught up in the chaos of the last few weeks that I haven’t had much time to reflect on what a huge blessing that he is. Casey is a man who truly…

Thinking Things Through
Tonight makes two weeks since I lost my baby. I’m slowing getting to the point where it’s not the first thing I think about every minute of the day. But I am still crying at odd moments, still crying as I fall asleep, and my heart still aches when I wake up. …

A Thousand Words
I was going to write a quick post, but Kenny decided to climb into my lap as I was logging in. So this is all I can say…

The Sound of Silence…
… is something that I never hear. Kenny really does talk nonstop. All day. It’s charming, adorable, amazing, exasperating and sometimes exhausting. Here is a transcript of our six minute ride to his gymnastics class today: “Nastics! Ball! Gym-to-play! Copter? Copter! Roof! Hat. WINDY!…

“Candadulatons Uh-Dave!”
For the week leading up to Dave and Sonila’s wedding, I worked on getting Kenny to say, “Congratulations, Uncle Dave!” and he got pretty good at it. So good now, in fact (even if it is after the fact) that he spent the whole drive to MOPS this morning shouting it at the top…

Home Again
We just arrived home, after a beautiful weekend of laughter, love, hugs, tears and lots of dancing. I wasn’t able to get online at all in Florida, and as it’s late, I’ll have to save the writing of my stories until tomorrow. But here are some quick pictures… The gorgeous bride and groom:…

Once the Wheels Get Rolling…
… it seems they never stop. Casey and Kenny came with me to the hospital for the D&C on Monday, and hung out in the pre-surgery area. That is, until Kenny started projectile vomiting all over himself, Casey, the floor and the gurney I was laying on. Casey got everything wiped up and…

Another Unexpeted
I am leaving in ten minutes to go to the hospital for a D&C. It seems I will need one after all, as I went to the doctor this morning for bad cramping and a mild fever, and she found additional tissue that still has not worked its way out on its own. …
