When I woke up today Eva was still asleep. It gave me the chance to get ready and then wake her up. When I went into her room the soft morning sunlight was shining on her peaceful face and it was so sweet. I then said, “Eva, it’s time to get up”. She opened her [...]
Eva is sick. She is the sickest she has ever been. It started with pink eye which went undiagnosed for too long so it turned into a bad sore throat and infection in both ears. A high fever accompanied it all. I pretty much sat on the couch and held her all day yesterday because [...]
My house is on a pretty busy street and I would really like a fence in front of my yard so that in the future my kids can play outside and I can worry a bit less. Over the weekend I did a lot of yard work. Eva loves being outside and is really good [...]
Sometimes there are amazing moments in my life and they are so perfect that I take a picture in my mind and try to remember it exactly that way forever. The memory always fades a bit but I remember that I loved it. There are some memories that I didn’t know, at the time, how [...]

I think it is time to start training Eva to sleep through the night and do it in her crib. I know it will be easier if I do it now and it will be harder the longer I wait. I know that it will be better for her as well; she needs to get [...]
The biggest decision I had to make recently was to get Eva the swine flu vaccine or not. In the beginning I decided not to and felt great about it. It was constantly debated around me but I never entered the debate or gathered information. My pediatrician told me it was safe and was a [...]
These are the beautiful leaves that are gracing my yard. I love them. I am very excited about their potential. I am going to attempt to make my own mulch with them to use in my garden next year. My first garden. Not only do these beautiful leaves provide me shade in the summer and [...]
