When we grow up Addie and I want to be Dutch and live on a tulip farm.

August 18, 2009 Anna is pretty much one of my favorite people on the planet. On August 18, 2009 Anna was down in the dumps. She had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year and had since been unable to get pregnant. She was sad. She was frustrated. Feelings I know very, very well.

Dear Gage, Happy birthday little man, today was a good day to be born. And not just because you were one cheese stick away from weighing nine pounds. No, today was sunny and warm for November. Also? 2009 has been kind of a crappy year for a lot of us who were already here soContinue reading “dear baby gage,”

About two years ago tiny gramma left a comment on my blog and it has always been one of my favorites… Everybody now…awwww.
