One year ago today, I was filled with anticipation, nerves, and excitement (and epidural drugs), ready to meet the baby boy I loved so much, even before I met him. I can’t believe it’s already been a year. Sam, you have changed, and changed my life, so much. I love you more and more each […]

And no, I don’t mean Broadway musical, and I don’t mean Disney musical…I mean BOY musical. Just so that nobody thinks my boys are perfect gentlemen, well-behaved and genteel at all times, I just have to say that our drive home from Passover dinner last week was one of the most “musical” (and stinkiest) yet. […]

Passover began at sundown on Monday, so Uncle Mike and Aunt Susan opened their home to all of us as they hosted the first night seder. I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous about it. For any of my readers who don’t know, Pesach, or Passover, is the Jewish holiday and festival that commemorates the Exodus […]

It seems that Sam has a little “theme” going on with his month-birthdays. He turned 10 months the same day Daddy ran the Cowtown half marathon, and he turned 11 months the day Daddy and Mommy ran the Dallas Rock N Roll Half Marathon. Don’t worry, there are no plans for races on his actual […]

Today was a GOOD Day. Today was the kind of good day that makes up for a whole bunch of crappy ones all at once. (This is not to say that I’ve had a bunch of crappy days in a row, quite the contrary, actually. But today made up for several crappy days in the […]

Well, remember how nervous I was two days before the race? It turns out, I was worried for nothing! No, wait, stop. That’s entirely untrue. I was worried – terrified was the word I believe I used (more than once) – for very valid reasons. I had slacked off in my training: motivation and time […]
