Once she falls asleep… it’s actually quite tough to wake her. Here is an edited version of her morning routine… (it actually takes her a [...]

Colette’s First Week Home :-)

We’ve made it one week home with Colette. Thought about having a 1 week graduation party… for Colette’s parents. Ashley is a really wonderful mom, and we’ve been thankful to have Grandma (MeMe?) over for a couple nights to help Colette sleep at night – it’s been a fun adventure so far. Enjoy the pix.

routines and minor wonders.

“Soraya and I settled into the routines–and minor wonders–of married life.  We shared toothbrushes and socks, passed each other the morning paper. She slept on the right side of the bed, I preferred the left. She liked fluffy pillows, I liked the hard ones. She ate her cereal dry, like a snack, and chased it [...]

for there is no other way.

The other night I was made aware of a situation that got me really upset. There seemed to be so much that was obviously wrong and my initial reaction was to act less than ladylike, less than christian.  I so desperately wanted to take matters into my hand. To execute “justice” on my terms. I [...]
