Casey’s surgery is rescheduled for tomorrow morning. We have to leave the house at 4:30 AM (yikes!), and won’t know until we get there what time he’ll actually go under. My parents are staying over tonight to be with Kenny all day tomorrow, and possibly into tomorrow night. I’m not the complete bundle […]
We took Kenny to his first USNA football game today (46 – 43 win over Duke!). We had been invited as guests up to a friend’s suite, and as there were lots of families with kids, Kenny was pretty happy to roam around and meet and greet everyone who would talk to him. […]

Though it’s hard to complain to be back, as it’s a quintessential early fall day here on our little creek off the Chesapeake Bay… 68 degrees, sunny and breezy, flocks of birds flying overhead and the occasional renegade fishing boat heading out under the bridge. Our week in the Outer Banks was wonderful, and it […]
I didn’t take as many as I thought at Kenny’s birthday party, but here are a few, as promised… “Mama, why do my balloons keep flying away?” “Kaitie and Kristin’s present ROCKS!” “Let them eat cake! I want the cookies all to myself…”
Though I am here in the most idyllic setting possible for endless writing (both sets of grandparents to dote on Kenny, picturesque sunsets and melodic ocean soundtracks), I am finding that I have been hit with a THUMP of writers block. Not only that, but in sacking away two novels in three days, I’m […]
My sweet baby is TWO! I can hardly believe that two years have passed since the night I first met this little human that is the exterior beat of my heart. His serious expression when he’s stacking blocks melts me as much as his charming “can I have a cookie?” smile. His […]
