This is Part III. You can read Part I and Part II to catch up. At the airport Daniel gave me a mix cd to listen to on the plane. It was beautiful. As I flew back to Texas I knew I would give him another chance but I needed a little bit of time and a little bit of convincing that I wouldn’t get my heart broken again. We talked on the phone almost every day and Daniel sent me letters at least … [Read more...]

Verdict is in…
IT'S A GIRL!!! A precious, healthy, baby girl. I am overwhelmed with joy. I was hoping for a little gal (although I would have loved another sweet boy!) and when the tech and Dr. said, "Girl!" I cried so many happy tears. A GIRL! I can't believe it. And she's so beautiful. She was sweetly playing with her little tiny toes. AND she looked asleep compared to what Benjamin looked like during his … [Read more...]

It is such a joy to know you are with such a good and wonderful man.” –My Dad 9 Years Ago: “I don’t want you to ever see that boy again. He is a freak.” – My Dad As we are celebrating our FIFTH(!) anniversary this Saturday, I thought a few posts about our love story might be fun this week… I was 15. I knew I liked … [Read more...]
Besties
Benjamin has a little best friend. His name is Ulee and Benjamin thinks he's just grand. We met Ulee and his mama, Zemi, at library storytime and hit it off. The boys love to go to the Jr. Museum (Tallahassee Museum, if you're fancy) and run around and show each other all the animals. Benjamin even wrote a little song about Ulee. It's mostly just repetition of "Ulee, Ulee, … [Read more...]
From Bad to Worse…
That was our week. It all began on Sunday when after a weekend of runny nose and coughing, Benjamin started wheezing. He had what could have been his first bout of asthma, something Daniel has been concerned about from the very beginning because he had such awful childhood asthma and still has it to a degree. So Sunday and Monday was filled with dr.'s offices, pharmacy pick-ups, breathing … [Read more...]
