It’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since I said, “I do” to this man. This is the longest, and by far best, relationship I have ever been in. Even though we couldn’t be together today (since you won’t let me retire – LOL!), you were on mind all day. Funny that we sit Continue reading
On Saturday I had a rare opportunity to just lounge on the couch and scroll through my Facebook newsfeed. There were a lot of rainbows profile pictures thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriages nationwide. But through the light of the rainbows I stumbled upon an article that really made me stop Continue reading
We are so blessed and happy that Violet decided to make her appearance in time to spend Easter with us. At a week only, she is the most precious bundle of joy and nothing could make me feel any happier. Before Violet was born, about a mid-March, we decided to take Easter portraits to memorialize Continue reading
In April Brian, Ethan and I packed up and headed to Boston to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a few days and then headed to New York. This was Ethan’s first plane ride and he was great. We flew to Boston, stayed for a few days, then rented a car and drove to New York Continue reading
My family doesn’t usually get together for Easter but with a new baby in the family it seemed like a really good excuse to do it. Ethan was literally the star of the show. Everyone loved watching him explorer and loved his little “crab crawl”. He brought so much joy to everyone and I am Continue reading
On April 7th my maternal grandmother will turn 90. Today, Easter, we are celebrating this milestone at her house. She has outlived my grandfather, her husband of over 60 years, and my mother, who died in 2003 at the age of 54. She raised nine children with my grandfather. My grandma is the glue that Continue reading
We had a great time during Grandma’s recent trip to California. She got to spend some quality time with her new grandson and we all got to visit Noni, visit my friends, and even take a trip down to Newport Beach.
Once again, Ethan was the star of the show. Everyone loved seeing him this Thanksgiving. Everyone wanted to hold him, everyone wanted pictures, everyone laughed. I have so much to be thankful for this year. I love that I get to spend the holiday with my mom’s side of the family again. I’m so grateful Continue reading
Ethan’s first Halloween started out with an office party at Arup. All the kids were so cute. The big kids were great too! I love that everyone is so festive. Pete and Leslie won for the best costume and they deserve to win – their Flinstone family costumes were awesome! We ended up taking Ethan Continue reading
Since my mom died in 2002 I have become somewhat estranged from my mom’s side of the family. It’s odd how a death can either bring a family closer together or tear them apart. In this case, our family has never been quite the same. My mom was somehow the glue that kept our family Continue reading
