It is amazing how everything in my life now relates to before and after Robert. This past week marks Robert’s first Christmas and the first New Year.
At about this time last year we visited the Festival of Chariots, there were only two of us then, and Robert was still a very much doubted [...]
I wanted to dedicate a post to 2007, as the year draws to a close. This has been a remarkable and special year for all of us. Not a day has passed since Robert’s birth when I did not stop to marvel at the miracle of his new life. I am endlessly grateful for the [...]

Robert had a runny tummy over the weekend; there were no painful cramps, but he seemed lethargic and lacking his usual spunk. Today he is a little better, but still not quite right.
