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. […]
Thank you for the emails and comments you have sent. They mean so much to me. It is amazing to see the love and sympathy of so many strangers. Physically I am doing ok. Emotionally I am not so good. This isn’t the sort of thing you ever expect to happen, […]
Hello Everyone: I am so saddened to write this update. I had to bring Kristjana to the ER early this evening. We lost the baby. I would appreciate your prayers for Kristjana. She had a very rough evening, and the doctors have admitted her for at least one evening because of […]
There is something that I’ve been aching to write about for weeks now, but something has been holding me back. Protocol? Tradition? Appropriateness? Superstition? Well, I need to throw all that out the window, if only for the sake of my sanity; because I need to write about this. So […]
Kenny is a very good eater. In fact, he will eat most everything you put in front of him, with very few exceptions. But, like any toddler, he is going through the “single food phase” week by week. This week (and last week) it happens to be a request for cereal at […]

My sister’s husband arrived today in the Middle East for his second deployment since the Iraq war began. (I’m not writing where specifically, for obvious reasons.) Though a Naval flight officer, he will be serving with an Army unit for the next seven months. My sister waits at home with her two […]
Casey and I went out on a date again tonight… Yee HAA for another set of grandparents being in town. It was a lot of fun: good food, cool atmosphere, handsome date. We went on the early side to a trendy little spot, and by the time we paid the check, we realized […]
This past Saturday afternoon, Kenny and I were innocently playing in his room (I was even standing two feet from where he was) and he tripped on a book on the floor and walloped his head right into the corner of the dressing table. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I had of […]
Kenny’s new favorite game is “hide and seek.” Unfortunately, his favorite person to play it with is Dudley, who is not always aware of the event. Today poor Kenny sat under a blanket for at least ten minutes (while I sat close by, painfully observing), waiting for Dudley to “seek” him… Guess what […]
