Springtime!

It’s so nice to hear the birds making their happy songs in the morning. The wooded area behind our house is getting greener each day and this whole season makes me happy. There are blossoms everywhere, and so many colors and sounds. Ellie is doing well too. She just turned 6 months yesterday, and she … [Read more…]

Ellie, my beautiful daughter

Cami’s doctor wanted to avoid any possible complications with higher blood pressure, so we went in early to have the baby induced. We went in Thursday night, the 22nd of September. Progress was very slow all day Friday, and on Saturday morning they finally opted to do a c-section. So, Ellie was born on September … [Read more…]

Ellie is two weeks away

According to my calendar, the due date is two weeks away. Cami thinks Ellie won’t come for another week after that. I don’t know what to think.

Cami will be here tonight!

If the flights cooperate, Cami will be here around midnight. I sure hope she can make it. Tomorrow I have the option of a day off since the rest of the office will be closed. If she misses her flight today, I will likely work, at least for part of the day. But, if she … [Read more…]

Another walk

This is my fourth day of walking. My feet felt better today so I may be turning the corner on that. The heat didn’t feel as bad either. Once I get used to walking, I’ll start pushing myself to get a better workout. After seven months of doing practically nothing, it feels great to get … [Read more…]
