This blog has typically been a place for me to share my thoughts about Congenital Heart Defects and how it affects our family, our faith and our journey through life together. It’s also been a therapy tool for me, to write out my thoughts and fears into the great abyss that is ‘the word wideContinue reading “one stupid clot”

Hero for a minute
For those of you who read my post the other day about the ‘joys’ of motherhood I have an update… today I got called the ‘best car finder EVER’ by my sweet child whose been mad all week about the missing blue and green car (which I finally discovered was ‘Carla’ from Cars2). After learningContinue reading “Hero for a minute”
Boys!
As a woman who was raised with only a sister there are things that come as a surprise to me; and the surprises come on an almost daily basis. Who knew that ‘poop’ could be an always entertaining conversation around the dinner table? Or, that ‘potty time’ could turn into quality time of discussing theContinue reading “Boys!”
Potty training… WOW
Last year you may remember that the blog turned into ‘the toilet diaries’ as I made repeated attempts to potty train Josh. It was a year long saga (from his third birthday to almost his fourth) and tale of woe that ended triumphantly when I discovered that it was ME who was needing the trainingContinue reading “Potty training… WOW”
Happy now?

Sometimes in life, we need someone to encourage us. My husband is having one of those weeks. I wanted to let him know, outside ofContinue reading “For T”
Playtime
I was reminded today about the gift of laughter, the joy that can be found in play… even as an adult. Yesterday we attended a birthday party for a three year old, the backyard was filled with a bunch of young boys, a few girls thrown in for good measure and of course a bunchContinue reading “Playtime”
No more tears for days gone by
I mentioned yesterday that I had been at the cottage for a week, or a little less actually. While there I watched two things happen, Kaleb’s breathing finally became normal, his ragged breaths became deep, the dark circles that had taken up permanent residence on his little face lightened and became puffy again. Oxygen flowedContinue reading “No more tears for days gone by”
a bigger chair
Josh at 6 weeks Yesterday I dropped Josh off for his last day of school. It seems like I was just posting to say that he had attended his first day of school… time does fly. Josh has had a lot of firsts this week, and as I watch him grow and learn I amContinue reading “a bigger chair”
