The Weekly Wednesday Photo Essay: Guglielmo's Pizzeria

Guglielmo is Italian for William, incidentally. Since we’ve been busy packing and planning for our upcoming trip to Scotland, we decided Liam could take on some of the regular household duties. Sunday evening he made us pizza for supper. And it was delectable! The chef has agreed to share his kitchen [...]

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

We’ve had a lazy, stay-at-home kind of day. See for yourself. Today’s gratuitous Liam picture features him rocking away in his very own rocking chair, compliments of Gramma B. He likes to sit — and rock — while watching TV or listening for tractors to go by outside. Ahh, the life!

Liam [...]

Freaky Friday

I think I’m well on the road to recovery. My temps are going down, I have had both creamy and ewcm, and my emotions are starting to even out. The waves of grief still come, but they are more like the gentle surf I remember from our time on the beach in Hawaii. You just [...]

The Weekly Wednesday Photo Essay:At Play in the Fields of Harmignies

Since Liam and I spend a couple of hours a day, every day, hitting the local roads on foot, we thought you’d show you around town via one of our favorite walks. You’d think, with the amount of time I spend walking up and down hills, bumpy tractor paths, and cobblestone streets, that I’d [...]

Memorializing Isaiah

We are not the type of people to maintain an *angel page* dedicated to our child. That is not what this site is for. I see many pages like this and while I honor their intent, this is not right for me. For me to create such a memorial site to my child would be [...]

Fingerpainting

I spent a good deal of time last night making fingerpaint for Liam. Mix it, cook it, mix it, color it, mix it. Then into the nifty little pots it went. These are actually miniature jello molds, but they seemed perfect for the task at hand.

Clean up the bazillion dishes this one [...]

Plans for the (near) Future

The first week of September we are taking a family vacation to Scotland. I’m really looking forward to it. Although the pain of Isaiah’s loss is still fresh, we’re daily reminded of just how lucky we are to have Liam, and daily reminded that our primary purpose in life is to ensure his health and [...]

The Weekly Wednesday Photo Essay

What do you do when you have nothing witty to write, when you have nothing to entertain and keep your audience of 2 people coming back for more? You give them pictures! I know you all are just chomping at the bit for some ultra-cute pics of Liam so….. here ya go! [...]

Blue

Last night I was struck down, hard, by negative thoughts. My self-confidence, always low, hit an all-time rock bottom record. It depresses me that my body is softened by pregnancy, although while I was carrying Isaiah I welcomed the changes. Now that he is gone I feel fat and out of shape. I only gained [...]

A New Look

It’s time for a bit of a pick-me-up around here. So, what do you think of the new look? The page is still a work in progress, but I’m pretty proud of it. See the nifty little *comments* tag at the bottom of this message? Click on it and leave us [...]
