La Reve

June 14, 2009

Right before I got pregnant with Michael Doug and I took a wine tour through Napa Valley.  We had been trying for 5 months and it wasn't working so why not right?  We visited a champagne house, Domaine Carneros, and talked about how wonderful this was but what we really wanted was a baby.  We [...]

Breath

June 10, 2009

Things are taking a turn for the worse in the house news around here and I'm just going to take a break from blogging every five minutes of the process.  Posting pictures of the house was a bad idea because it may not be where we are living after all.  I know things work out [...]

Deep Thoughts By Michael

June 2, 2009

"Michael, Daddy is going away for a few days so it is just going to be you and Mommy.  You need to be on your best behavior." "Mommy, when Daddy gets back can we give him a parade? I start hysterically laughing.  "I don't see why not." "Mommy, you are laughing at Daddy and it [...]

Everything Is Changing At Once

June 1, 2009

I have found, for me, one of the hardest parts of being a parent is making all of these decisions for another person.  How do I know what is best for Michael?  I barely know what is best for me. After Michael's accident I made this rash phone call to our first choice preschool last [...]
