Month 19, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, We have come to the moment where I realize you’re growing up way too fast. It’s pretty remarkable how one minute you have this tiny helpless baby who is just a lump in your arms and the next thing you know, poof, toddler. I have to be honest, you’re a pain in the…

Month 43
Dear Olivia, I’m sure you’re wondering what’s been happening to me lately – I spend a good portion of the day making strange noises while I feverishly rub my eyes. You see me disappear upstairs in a hurry only to reappear with a puffy face and bright red glossy eyeballs. I can only imagine that…

Month 18, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, You ate a complete pork chop the other night for dinner. I mention this because it is both amazing and incredibly frightening.

Month 41
Dear Olivia, You have been at preschool for six months now and still love it. You get excited about going and sometimes it seems to be the only thing you can talk about. You have never been worked up about going or ever told me you don’t want to go. I think a huge contributing…

Month 16, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, The other morning while putting your jacket on, I made the horrific discovery of scratch marks on the back of your neck. I pulled your shirt down slightly to see that the horrible scratches continued down further and there was even some dried blood. Obviously I didn’t witness the event that took place…

Month 40
Dear Olivia, To say it has been a difficult month would be an understatement and for the first time you’re not the sole contributor to the problems. That right there deserves a round of applause. This past month has been jam-packed with a funeral, a car break-in and a sick dog. Thankfully we decided not…
