I saw God...


As it has been more than 3 weeks since Kallyn was born, I have had time to reflect on what her arrival has meant to me. I can honestly say without a single doubt, the day she was born was the best day of my 34 years. Emotions overcome me when I think about holding Abby's hand and witnessing Kallyn's first breathe. How the doctors laid her on Abby's belly...how she stopped crying once she heard our voices. It was the most amazing experience and I saw a God that day.


I look forward to every moment I have with her. Every diaper change, every fussy moment, every cuddle. I love this little girl and I am blessed to have her in my life.

Waiting Patiently...

11 days away from Kallyn's due date. Her arrival is so close that it almost enough to drive us crazy with excitement and anxiety. When will she come? Will she be healthy? Will Abby be healthy? What will see look like? What will it feel like to hold her for the first time?

We have been praying for this moment for so long, it is hard to believe her arrival could happen any day now. We are like two kids on Christmas Eve...waiting patiently for the arrival of most perfect gift...

Kallyn, take your time and make your entrance into this world when you are good and ready. Tonight would work for us :)

Giving Thanks




Today, I was honored to be invited to Saint Joan of Arc Church for "Special Persons Day" by Mercedes Bickel. Today's mass was focused on giving thanks for the special people in our lives.
As Kallyn's birth nears, I am so thankful to be on this wonderful journey with Abby and to be surrounded by such loving friends and family.
Thank you Mercedes and Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Yes We Can!


11-04-2008

This date will forever be etched into my mind. A day I never thought I would experience in my lifetime. A day where Americans stood in long lines to vote...A day where Americans had election parties as if it were the Superbowl. A day where Americans screamed out loud once the winner was announced and danced in their living rooms as well as the streets. A day when we took a giant leap forward...for ALL Americans.


I can't wait to tell Kallyn where we were when President Barack Obama was elected. How her moms played a small part in history. I can't wait to tell her how proud we were to be Americans. How it gave us a glimmer of HOPE that she would be born into a better world because Americans believed in each other again. How we were inspired to make a difference and we could be the voice of change. I will tell her about how her mother and I held each other, celebrated with our friends and cried...
