Well happy friggin birthday to me!

It seems like we just did this! But here we were yesterday...August 25th again! Sheesh. Life flies. It really does.
Not exactly a milestone birthday, but I am now officially too old to ever be a playboy bunny, if that counts for anything.

Yesterday was a really great day. It was a crazy weekend, since we had ( Read more... )

This past Sunday I had to make an announcement at church to promote our show this weekend. During second service, I got uproarious applause and it both deeply embarrassed & blessed me. I always get so shy and self-conscious when I have to speak in front of second service because that is the one with all the people I care about & respect most ( Read more... )

I could just spend the rest of my life hanging out with Sam, and I would be content. It is amazing how such an itty bitty person has changed the way I see the world. He's hanging in there.....I won't say much about it all because you are all visiting the website Frank made for him.....but seriously he is amazing. Except for this whole stomach thing ( Read more... )

We have been trying to individually  thank every single person that has showed us love and support this past week, but it is getting difficult. We are so grateful for everyone, and we have been amazed at how many people have visited Sam's website. Frank updates it practically every night before we go to bed, which has been really helpful in keeping ( Read more... )

It is an odd thing - living life full of such joy and yet simultaneously feeling as if your heart has been ripped out. That pretty much sums up my first days of motherhood.

Sam is so amazing. He is this tiny, perfect little person, and I could just stare at him all day long. Last night when we went to our nightly NICU visit, Sharlotte was his ( Read more... )

Hey everyone,

Our baby is here! This week definitely threw us for a loop! I have pasted below an update letter we recently sent out, because I know I didn't get a chance to email/call everyone, and we are still pretty exhausted. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers, and we hope everything will be okay soon!
