Normal is setting in quick here with Cal, Jeff & I. Buzzing about town, heading back to work, spending time with friends & working our tails off. That seems to be how we work best. Life is GREAT!Some moments of clarity have occurred for us. We're so wonderfully thankful that we indeed recognize what truly matters in our lives. Trivial concerns & complaints don't go too far in this family. I implor...

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 am not complaining about the heat...I am not complaining about the heat...really, I'm not. I LOVE summer. Heat & all! It seems that there is a positive energy in the air & I LIKE it! This morning I was invited to speak at the Berks-Mont Business Association's monthly breakfast meeting. It was a nice experience. Their membership is embarking on a project to help support local & national charitabl...

These past 2 weeks have been incredibly stressful. I find myself embracing the stress as it feels so familiar & brings me back to those beautifully horrible days with my sick babies. I am still working so hard in allowing myself to experience greatness. I fear good news, things that are too easy & letting my guard down. It will happen though, I am determined. We're doing well this month with our P...

I know that it is impossible for anyone to truly understand what it takes for me to accomplish a little bit of healing each day. Everyone grieves in a different way. But, I believe that I am dedicated to surviving the experiences I have been dealt. All of my prior life experiences have molded me into someone who always wants to do MORE. I struggle with my hurt, but I also spend a lot of time think...

SNOW-We are buried under 20 inches (plus) of snow here in PA. This may put a little slowing on the work that needs to be done at Grandmom's. Well, the dumpster is full...of snow! It may be another day yet before we can get the cars out. A snowmobile did make it around the driveway last night. I will give the Jeep a try later today. Jeff cleared it off last night, but it is covered again. The sun b...

The time has just been flying by here. Calvin has a nasty virus that has decided to infect me now too. Blech. We're hunkered down here at the homestead until we're fever free & safe to socialize again. In our time at home we've been working on a few things. My overachieving friend, Pam, has set up 2 fundraisers for us!
The first will be February 25th from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. at the Texas Roadhous...

I have been having these extremely clarifying moments lately....I don't know what has brought them on, but I suspect that it is the fact that the holidays are behind us. It is CRAZY how stressful it is to face the times of year, like the holidays & anniversaries, that are exceptionally tough following the loss (or losses in our case) of those we love. So tonight, although I am SUPER tired, I just ...

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...
