Change of Plans

I had planned on blogging today about my MIL’s remission, but I guess God had other plans in mind. Her bone marrow biopsy came back still showing leukemia cells, which means 5 more days of 24-hour chemo and a few more weeks in the hospital. They told her that this is not uncommon, and it [...]

A Mother’s Day to Remember

I grew up in a household full of girls, with the exception of my poor dad, so I get to experience the joys of little boys through my son. Yesterday was one of those huge father-son moments for my husband, my dad, my FIL, my little boy and myself really. We went to the Indians/Tigers [...]

Kade’s First Baseball Game

We all had fun at Kade’s first baseball game. Grandpa Kraus, Papa Roth, Mama, Daddy and Kade went to the game on Mother’s Day. The Tiger’s won 3-2 but a rain delay in the 7th sent us home a little early. We made it back to the house in time to catch the last two [...]

All’s Well

I know you are all dying to hear how our Friday night went after the afternoon nap saga. Have no fear, it turned out to be one relaxing evening. My brilliant husband had the idea of bringing home chinese take-out – YUM! By the time Kyle had stopped by the hospital to see his mom [...]

Ok, so Kade started crying on the monitor and I decide to go in and see why this exhausted little boy is fighting so hard against sleep. The smell hit me immediately upon entering his room. His huge lunch was now a huge mess in his pants. So that’s why he didn’t go to sleep. [...]

Are you kidding?

It is currently 3:45 in the afternoon. Kade woke up at 6:00, proceeded to whine his way through the morning until we went to the hospital at 11:30 to have lunch with Papa and give him a bit of a break from the hospital surroundings. He was very good there and ate a huge lunch. [...]

Thankful Thursday

Although this week has been a blur of activity, it’s time to stop and think about what I’m thankful for. I am so thankful that my MIL DOES NOT have C.Diff. It would have set her back in her recovery and probably prevented her from going to the wedding in Punta Cana. She has fought [...]

Watercolors

Kade had his second art class yesterday morning and he was very excited to paint a picture for Nana. The project of the day was watercolor painting. Kade did a great job. You should have seen him wielding that paintbrush around like a pro, and although I am biased, the final product was absolutely beautiful. [...]
