My little girl is two years old. Two years have passed in a blink, and yet it feels like Abigail has been with us forever. Our lives are so markedly different from what they were two or three years ago, and despite the challenges, sacrifices, and sleep deprivation, the joys and deep, heart-wringing [...]
I’m not looking at checklists. I’m not consulting guide books and recommendations from friends. I’m not furiously throwing clothing into a big pink suitcase in an effort to be done packing tonight. I’m not growing increasingly more anxious about leaving my daughter for ten days. I’m not trying to decide what books to bring on the [...]

After the whirl of activity that was Christmas, it’s really nice to have some down time before heading back to work next Monday. This is another cheater post [...]
Uh, oops.. Right. I have a blog. That I should probably post to more frequently. Sorry about that.
