I am definitely a believer that big things happen in small steps. We just had what would be a small milestone for many families, but a HUGE deal in our house. Calvin turned 2 yesterday! We've waited a long 4 years & 3 months to have a 2 year-old. Our first! I know that many moms dread the impending possibility of terrible 2's, but I say, BRING 'EM ON! We're sure to experience some hiccups in Cal's...

I have not been blogging lately. None of the reasons that I have been dealt have anything to do with my beliefs & feelings, so I am back to blogging. Bottom line is, I love to write & I have been told that what I write is helpful to many people. What really could get in the way of that? Nothing from now on!My fourth Mother's Day has come & gone. It was a nice day. I was able to see Grandmom, my mo...

Today is Calvin's testing day at CHOP Oncology clinic. My theme of the day is concentrating on staying on the statistical side of identical twins who do NOT both get leukemia. It would be wonderful to be on the "winning" side of statistics now. I did read an article yesterday describing the statistical measurement of identical twins & leukemia. I have some questions for the docs today that I wante...

Here it is! A New Year. In true "Erin" fashion, I fell asleep minutes before midnight. My night was full of dreams of one little kiddo...Miss Avery. I have to say that while I often wake up in tears after my dreams, I feel lucky to see Avery & Nolan's faces, even in my dreams. I think that since I have been deeply contemplating when I will return to work, I am thinking a lot about the Avery bug. W...
