First Haircut

Yup, she’s finally getting her hair cut. After 2 1/2 years. And it’s pretty freaking adorable. Continue reading →

2 Months

This cute girl is two months old now – well, about a week ago, but she got her 2 month shots today, so it’s official. Considering she was fighting for her life in the PICU a little over a month ago, I’m pretty excited about this. It’s funny how much the little achievements matter now, … Continue reading →

Josie says…

This milk is so cold! And soooo juicy! I kissed Olive’s big owie. It looks like a rainbow! Josie’s the boss! (when asked if who’s the boss, Mommy or Daddy) Peanut butter! And eggs. (when asked what she wants for dinner) (clasping her hands in front of her) This is what Snow White does. And … Continue reading →

The Story of a Miracle – The First 24 Hours

It all started on Valentine’s Day. Olive had struggled to eat the night before, so she and I had been up all night. When she seemed absolutely exhausted the next day, I chalked it up to the previous night’s sleeplessness and didn’t think much of it. Josie, Olive and I went on an outing to … Continue reading →

Drama, Drama

Today, while I was feeding Olive, Josie snuck into the bathroom and swallowed one of Eric’s pills that hadn’t been put away. Luckily, she walked out and told me right away what she’d done. And luckily, it was just one pill and after a call to Poison Control, we determined that it should travel right … Continue reading →

Whole Wheat Waffles

I made these waffles this morning and I had to share, because they were pretty darn delicious. I got the recipe from 100 Days of Whole Food, but made a few adjustments that I kinda love…   Whole Wheat Waffles (adapted from 100 Days of Whole Food) 2 large eggs 1 ¾ cups vanilla almond … Continue reading →
