Small packages

Looking at her brother Originally uploaded by erikakrausroth.
The old adage, “Good things come in small packages,” definitely rings true in our house. Liv is the missing piece of the puzzle. She completes us and our family. I firmly believe that she was sent to us with a purpose - to bring us peace. She [...]

Thankful Thursday

Ahh, what am I thankful for? Let’s see…
I’m thankful for Murphy’s Law because life would be a lot less interesting without it. Take, for instance, my post last night where I praised my son’s stellar behavior as of late; you guessed it - he woke up at about 4:30 this morning and has been a [...]

It was bound to happen…

Liv, the quiet, peaceful, smiling, happy baby, has been replaced by a fussy, constantly nursing, grumpy, evil twin. For the past week or so she has spent much of the afternoon and evening fussing away until she finally succumbs to sleep. Her red cheeks, diarrhea (we’re talking up to 6 poops a day), voracious sucking [...]

Sugar high, and the lows that come with it

Yesterday, Kade and I built and decorated a gingerbread house to kick-off the holiday baking season (we still have cookies, cupcakes, and buckeyes to check off the list). I know that I am biased, but Kade is so creative (he gets that from Kyle because I am what some may call creatively challenged). I outlined [...]

Inspired

I went to the Team in Training kickoff celebration this morning (Kyle watched the kids, and I have to admit that it felt great getting out of the house for the first time all week). I met some really great people and the honorees blew me away. Many of them (they are all either cancer [...]

Thankful Thursday

We’re in for a day full of snow. See, I told you there would be other opportunities to frolic in the white stuff.
I’m actually thankful for the snow. As much as it stinks to venture out in the cold, the snow is so beautiful. It hides all the imperfection and death beneath it’s blanket [...]

Sleepless in South Euclid

I guess I jinxed it . Liv has been miserable the past two days. She cried all afternoon and evening yesterday, which is definitely not like her. Kyle and I are blaming it on teething issues (can it be possible at 3 months) due to the copious amounts of drool and aggressive hand sucking [...]
