This little corner of the web has been quiet for a few weeks. Between school starting, spending a lot of time at the hospital for asthma visits, two rounds of company, an end-of-summer trip and celebrating half of our family’s birthdays, down time has been non-existent. I do love this…
It’s time once again for our annual family snapshot. The little details of our lives that I haven’t documented elsewhere. Here are some snippets from our lives (and a few pictures) to document the here and now: I was recently looking at some photos from our trip to Hawaii last…
Troy had the last two weeks off work for paternity leave. It was, in a word, divine. Maybe it wasn’t quite as heavenly as when we shipped the older two boys off to their grandparents’ house for ten days when newborn baby #3 entered our world. But since school made…
I entered a new decade this week. I can’t say I was looking forward to this milestone. Not because I necessarily cared about the advancement in age, but because I knew that being nine months pregnant would limit any sort of celebration. And after a tough year, I didn’t expect…
We officially have two walkers in our family. The race was on to see who would walk first, and it ended up being a tie. Both Troy and Crew took their first steps, crutch-less and furniture-less, within a few days of each other. Troy has some pretty intense hardware in…

We are slowly but surely adjusting to our new temporary life around here. Troy is mostly off pain meds and rotating between his wheelchair, the couch and hobbling on crutches. In about six more weeks, he may be able to start putting 25% weight back on his leg, depending on…
2014 has been nuts for us so far. You know that phrase, “everything but the kitchen sink?” Well, in our case, the chaos began with the kitchen sink. A few weeks ago, our kitchen sink faucet snapped off, out of nowhere. It left us a constant stream of running water,…
I’m cutting it close for squeezing in our annual fall snapshot, but the week of Thanksgiving still counts as fall, right? Without further ado, here is our 2013 snapshot in words (and a few pictures), capturing the here and now. The most prominent change in our lives is Troy’s work…
In addition to Troy’s 30th birthday surprise trip to San Francisco to watch the Red Sox game, I had one more present for him to open on our sunrise flight. I made him a hardbound book full of pictures from his life and messages from people he loves. It was…
