This post is late and I have to be honest and tell you that I have some guilt about it. Sometimes I wonder if there's any point in sharing about our sweet firstborn, since many who read here may not even know our story. But, the mother in me wants his memory to always remain alive, even if it's just in our home, with friends, or and on this blog. Andrew's birthday was on a Sunday, so we had … [Read more...]

I started thinking about what the date was today, as I knew the 3 month mark of Andrew's birth was approaching soon. I took a look at my cell phone and realized the date was 11/8 and I had missed my son's 3 month birthday yesterday!! I'm … [Read more...]
