  • What a Difference 2 Years Makes

    It’s hard to believe two years ago today, we spent that fearful day at the hospital and found out about Skyler’s heart condition. It seems so much longer ago, especially when I watch her run around crazy every evening like a chicken on speed. There are times I pick her up and hold her during…

  • By the Way

    Not much to report lately. We are enjoying our new ride, though a dashboard light has already come on to “Service Stabilitrak” – whatever that is. Like I really want to take it in for service already! Hopefully it’s nothing, and if it is, thank goodness we purchased the extended warranty! In other news, Skyler…

  • Undecided

    I went to a baby shower this weekend where four of my six closest friends in attendance were pregnant. With their second or third child.

She has an adorable room in her store with just children’s things, which included lots of butterfly decorations. We picked out some hanging butterflies and long beaded butterfly garlands for Skyler’s…

  • Christmas 2009

We did our own Christmas Eve together at home, then had Christmas morning together, then headed to Belton for Ronnie’s family Christmas, then back across town to my parents’ for our Christmas.…

  • Peaks and Valleys

    Not even a month ago I wrote about the challenges of battling a two-year-old. Funny thing is, almost as soon as those words were published online, everything changed again, and whoever that crazy demonic bipolar little monster was, has since disappeared, or is at least in hiding for the moment. Skyler has not only been…
