Last night, Tim was able to come over for the first time in two weeks due to his doctor recommended quarantine at home. Finley was so very excited to see his Daddy. A hug took a moment and came after Finley showed Daddy every single toy he has, and his bedroom, his iPad, and his…
From my Facebook- just want to document here too: Documenting to remember my gratitude and thoughts on today, 4/5/20: Thank you to those in the healthcare industry- from doctors, nurses, medical assistants, dentists, pharmacists, all the way to the administrative and profession staff that keep things moving. You’ve been in my thoughts and heart. Thank…
Dear Finley, We have been "working" at home together for a week. I started at home on Monday, March 16th, 2020 because I had cold symptoms and then work mandated remote work beginning Wednesday (the 18th) due to the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. That means....we've been working and spending our days together. Work to me…
A young man and woman walked into a pet store about fifteen and a half years ago. They were set to get married in a few months and the last thing they needed was an additional responsibility to add to their other "responsibility", Nieve the cat. Nonetheless, they walked into a pet store to buy…
Eleven months. My sweet boy is already 11 months! His personality is becoming more evident: sweet, funny, insistent, determined, and losing a bit of cuddliness (but still cuddly when I time it right).

Finn is now a full seven months. Ah sweet boy, you keep growing and growing... Finn now has two bottom teeth and four teeth on the top growing in...plus molars... He's still not sleeping through the night, but I've accepted it as the normal... He loves making noises - grunts, groans, Velociraptor cries, loud exclamations-…
Finn is now six months. Six months! In the beginning, I thought by six months I'd be an exceptional parent and pretty much know everything there is to know. Now I know the truth- not a chance. I may never know. We had our first Christmas together. It was a strange one with ice, illnesses,…
I'm grateful for the gift of November. It seems strange to write as it's a month I dread due to the dark days - but I'm grateful for the gift I have given myself for the last five plus years- the gift of daily gratitude during the month. It sets me up for the next year…
This morning I'm grateful for a little Finn man who can now roll from back to front and front to back. Life is going by so quickly and I'm just so grateful that I am remembering to savor every milestone and every moment. I hope I can remember these moments in the years ahead. Each…
