A Merry Christmas For Us

By | December 30, 2011

After Only Four Hours

By | December 29, 2011

We woke up at 3:45am and began the fifteen hour drive that ended at the ER in our city.  We had cut short our holiday with family because David had suddenly begun showing some strange symptoms.  I spoke with his pediatrician who ordered that we either go to the ER where we were or come [...]

We didn’t spend much time in Downtown Disney, but it was certainly worth the trip just to see the Lego Store.  We allowed David to pick out his birthday presents from the store.  He created three Lego Miniatures (the little people) and he and I put together a small bucket of random little pieces of [...]

On our final day in Florida, we attended Liturgy at Pres. Magda’s parish. I “met” Magda online a while ago and I’ve been reading her blog(s) ever since. Lucia and Ambrose are one week apart, and they had fun playing with each other.

Florida: Riding the Rides

By | October 13, 2011

At SeaWorld, Grammy, my hubby and I rode on Manta, the rollercoaster. Before the ride was about to begin, my mom leaned over to me and said, “two years ago, who would have thought that I’d be doing this?” My strong mama fought cancer, and two years after her last chemo treatment, she rode, not [...]
