Today was the 14th anniversary of my father’s death. It was special for many reasons this year, the most important being able to introduce Avelyn to her Grandad. It is always hard to visit the grave site, but harder not to be there. I know it’s stupid, but fourteen years later and sometimes I’m still surprised to find myself thinking [...]

I had a baby shower in Houston on Sunday and it was great! I’m pretty sure I won’t have to buy Avelyn any outfits for the next 3 years. Okay, maybe not that long, but we did get more clothes than anything else! Ladies just go ga-ga for baby clothes! The good news is that [...]
