On Easter weekend, the ground was finally thawed enough that we were able to bury our second born, who we named Titus. It’s been 3 months since I delivered him and the loss is still so painful. I am comforted knowing that my Lord and savior, who died for the sins of those who repent …

The Birth of Baby Titus
My little baby Titus was born on January 30, 2009 at about 12:40 p.m. I would be rejoicing except that my little baby was born dead. God created little baby Titus on about December 4, 2008. I learned I was pregnant with him just 2 days after Christmas. I was so thrilled since I had …
Andy’s New Job
As you may have heard, Andy lost his job on Friday. He was one of 180 people let go by Opus Corporation on Friday. Can’t really blame the company since it’s not building any buildings and shouldn’t continue to pay people to do almost nothing. As a result, Andy’s taking a shot at being a …
I’m Finally Pregnant!
After months of trying and without weaning Jude, I have finally managed to get pregnant, with Andy’s assistance, of course. I think that the baby is probably due the very first days in September, meaning that if all goes well, the baby will arrive at the end of August. While I was taking the test …
Happy Birthday, Andy!
Today is Andy’s 31st birthday. It is off to kind of a rough start for him. I forgot it was his birthday and he had to remind me. I would have figured it out when I got to work since I had it on my calendar. Then, I decided to give him one of his …
No Big News
Have you heard that breastfeeding is a natural method of birth control? Well, I can verify from personal experience that that is true. Little Jude is just crazy about getting his “milkies.” As a result, it may be some time before I’m able to get pregnant. I’m not sure how I’ll ever manage to wean …
Our First Call to Poison Control
Yesterday, Jude and I were in the kitchen and he was, as usual, rummaging through the office supplies in the desk drawer.  I  noticed that he had a sour look on his face. I got a closer look and noticed immediately that he must have eaten super glue. I flushed his mouth and called for Andy. We …
Fun Weekend
I had a really fun weekend. Andy was busy with a church conference so Jude and I went to Litchfield to visit my mom, who just a re-do of her knee surgery from earlier this summer that didn’t go so well. This surgery appears to have gone great. Katie and Ivan were also visiting. Katie and …
Almost an Architect
Becoming an attorney is so easy compared to what it takes to become an architect. Andy has been working towards becoming a licensed architect for way too long now. He had to get a 5 year degree (which he got in 2001, I believe). After gradation, the internship process begins.  The internship process takes between 3 and 10 years. …
