I'm still around!

I just haven't had the time/energy to post or take any pics recently. Nick has had a couple of rough days (typical baby stuff, nothing bad) so Mommy is a little out of it. Hopefully things will smooth out here soon - maybe he'll start smiling so we can get a picture of that for everyone! Seeing a smile on his face would definitely would make these tough days easier.

Happy (grand)Father's Day!

One month picture

Fury wanted to be included, so we obliged! She has been a great big sister!

Early Father's Day Gift!

I am thrilled to announce some fantastic news about my dad! As many of you know, my dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a particularly aggressive brain tumor (and actually the same thing that Ted Kennedy was just diagnosed with) in July of last year. So the past year has been filled with surgeries, chemo, radiation, hospitalizations, etc. Well, today at his 2 month post-surgery checkup the doctor used the most unexpected word to describe my dad's current cancer status..."REMISSION"!!!!!!!!!

I can't thank all of you enough for all of the prayers and get-well wishes that you have sent my dad over the past year. Please continue to pray for him and that this remission sticks!

More new pics!

Nick Talks!

Sweet poem

"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow, for babies grow up, I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs, and dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby 'cause babies don't keep." ~Ruth Hamilton

Rare sleepy moment...

Thanks for the compliments!

A bunch of you have e-mailed me to comment on Nick's shoes in the second picture down. But guess what? They're actually socks! Trumpette is the brand and they make all sorts of cute socks that look like shoes - from golf shoes to Mary Janes!
