I’m sure there was a time when I thought Valentine’s Day was only about romantic love, but since having children that couldn’t be further from the truth.

My last “real” post was weeks ago, so here is a much needed post about what has been going on with us. Last week I was down and out with a horrible stomach flu. Thankfully, my wonderful husband works from home and basically just took over for two days. By the third day I was [...]

While we were away over Christmas break, our fish, Thumper, died. The kids were heartbroken, so I promised to get them a new fish when we went home. It took a while for everyone to agree on a name, but my husband’s suggestion, Blues (like the music), won. Although, Charitina insists on calling him “Thumper [...]

Despite everything that has been going on, we were still able to have two nice family celebrations, one with my family on Christmas Day and another with my husband’s family the day following. Christmas with my family began with service at a beautiful Carpatho-Russian church. Then we went home and opened presents with my family. [...]
David had his EEG done this morning and he was an incredible patient. The technician said he was the best patient she had ever had. And if you know David, you know what a terrible patient he usually is- this was a small miracle. Thank you to all of you who were praying for him! [...]
