There are a few moments in parenting time that seems to stand still. It’s like I’m watching things in slow motion, trying to soak up every moment thinking, “THIS is what I’ve been waiting for.” It’s occurred a few times – like when Little Miss had some dental work done and didn’t fuss or shed [...]
We’ve been here a year, and I’m finally getting all our medical stuff transfered and set up. That’s quite a bit for a whole family – eye drs, dentists, pediatrician, dr for me, one for hubby…. and not to mention how much I hate having to do all things medical. I’m rather squeamish. Ok, very [...]

Today, was a brilliantly sunny, happy day. This morning, the kids and I stood on our new street watching a digger begin to carve out the foundation for our new home. The construction worker waved at us as we happily stood next to our car imagining the fun we will have on this street starting [...]
This month marks one year since we moved back to Michigan after living in Florida for 6 years. It also marks one year that we’ve been living with my in-laws way out in the country. It’s been a year of waiting. A year of wondering. A year of wishing. A year of learning to be [...]
I’m easing myself back into the blogging world. We’re still in the midst of a tornado of change as we build a house and anticipate one last move from the in-laws into our new home hopefully in June. Come August, I don’t ever, ever want to see another moving box. Ever. If you’re moving and [...]
