Giving Thanks
When I think of what I am thankful for today, I cannot help but reflect on my life with Playette. Someone recently told me, after learning of her diagnosis, that they were "sorry." I know that person meant well, but it's still difficult to hear. Because, really, we are so far from sorry. We are grateful. This little girl has done so much to teach us what's really important in life. She makes us smile and then double over in laughter. She has introduced us to so many other amazing families, bonded by what we all share in common. I am so thankful that Playette was born exactly when she was, in 2007. I am grateful for people that paved the way so that parents like me wo

Busy, Part I
So, I'm always saying we've been busy, right? But busy doing what?When I got back from my two-week trip to NY, I had one day to rest up before taking on another challenge that Sunday morning.Remember when I told you that I completed a 10K? And how I didn't used to be able to run 40 yards without crying and/or hacking up a lung?Well, it was all in preparation for the Big Sur Half Marathon.The girl that used to have anxiety over "running" a mile ran 13.1 of those jokers.You can see the "stuffed otter" t

Up, Down, and All Around
That could describe so many things these days. We've been busy lately. It's true! Also, what else is new?There are things I want to talk about, but I want to post photos that are either in my camera or those of other people. And then there are other things that I would love to share that I just can't quite get motivated enough to type out. Then still, there are photos that I have with no words that are getting to be so old that it almost feels too boring to post.So, yeah. All of that.But today? Today I am here. And I will talk about the exciting nuances of my toddler's teeth.That's right. Break out the snacks and settle in for...te

Nothing Better
I got home from NY at about 11:30pm Friday. Playette was at home, long asleep and under the care of the babysitter when BD picked me up from the airport. The first thing I did when I got upstairs was rush to catch a glimpse of my baby girl. In the light from the hallway, I was able to make out the shape of her body, on her belly, in the position that is so familiar to me. I touched her hand and her fingers grazed my own. Careful not to wake her, I stepped lightly out of the room and softly shut the door.In the morning, I heard her stir. I asked BD if he wouldn't mind going to get her. I wanted to see her walk into the room. I wanted to see if she would re
