“Even for me, I had enough fun for the day.” (This after the boys and I biked to the park to meet friends and play, watched a helicopter land at the park, biked home and then biked with other friends.)

Another Scare
Jude has been the source of constant worry for us the past 4 years or so, but my pregnancy with him was smooth sailing. Not so with all the subsequent ones, including this latest one. My second pregnancy was with Titus who died. My third was with Levi who was suggested to have (based on …
Jude’s Quote of the Day

Jude’s Quote of the Day
So, I was telling Jude (age 8) the somewhat good news that I’m getting caught up on my work and things actually seem light for a big change. Jude said, “But, they’re just going to give you more work. The only way you get out of work is to lower people’s expectations.” (Seriously, where does this …
