“Goin’ To Winnipeg”

It’s A Girl!

A pretty awesome Christmas gift! Shea and I got to find out the sex of our baby at the same time our parents did earlier tonight. During our last ultrasound, we got the tech to put the sex of the baby in a sealed envelope then handed that to a trusted friend along with a […]

I Am (Not) Adam Lanza’s Mother

This blog post by the mother of a mentally-ill son, posted in the wake of the Connecticut shootings, was making the viral rounds.  Although I found it an interesting piece of writing with potentially some good points being made about the stigma of mental illness and the struggles of families trying to deal with it, […]

Pace saw a YouTube video of the song he’s doing for his school Christmas holiday concert and decided he needed to jazz up his look too!
