In mid-September, Abigail turned 3. She is a sweet, vivacious girl. She loves a good adventure, dolls, dancing, and ice cream. She gets complimented on her curls everywhere she goes and people are starting to call her Shirley Temple!
We celebrated with two parties. One was a weekday morning while Walter was at school. Our little […]
6/21: While preparing for a road trip in a tape deck-equipped vehicle, I came across Keith’s cassette of DC Talk’s self-titled album from 1989.

6/25: We went to […]
In a startling turn of events, I resigned from my part-time job at Boston Scientific in order to stay home full time with my kids. I had always seen myself as a lifetime engineer and career woman. But sometimes God has other, and better, plans. It was a tough decision, but after a lot of […]
This post is a bit late, but life has thrown a lot at us lately. Not the least of which was a tornado on the day of Walter’s birthday party…

Abigail recently turned 2. She is an energetic, happy, sweet little girl. She can already throw an expert 2-year-old tantrum, but most of the time she is full of smiles and kisses. She loves dancing, jumping, dolls, jelly beans and ketchup (not usually all at the same time.) She loves to sing “Twinkle Twinkle,” “Jesus […]
6/4: While riding home in the car, Walter turned around and exclaimed, “Mom, someone’s following us! How are we gonna shake ‘em?”
6/7: Abigail spotted Keith wearing his CPAP mask in bed and said “Nuk!”
