Football Camp
Gracie Jayne
Gracie Jayne is my brothers little girl. She is 2 1/2 years old and was born with Downs Syndrome. She has had a very hard battle to fight in her short little life. She weighed just over three pounds when she was born and at five months old had open heart surgery due to a hole in her heart. She is sure the little fighter and will be one independent individual as she continues to grow and learn new things everyday. I am really excited to see the person she will become.

As Snug As A Bug

The saying as snug as a bug in a rug doesn't hold more true than when I look at these pictures of Becca.
It puts a smile on my face to see her all snuggled up in bed. To look at these pictures again, I still don't know how she got herself so wrapped up in those blankets. I thought for sure when she finally came out of her cocoon that she was going to have butterfly wings on her back.

Medical Supplies
Diabetes is a medical condition that runs in my family. My grandpa and mom have had this disease for many years now. With my last two pregnancies I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, which means the chance of having type II diabetes is probably inevitable for me. Having the knowledge I do about diabetes I am relieved there are place to purchase diabetic supplies such as test stripes and syringes online from the convenience of home. Allegro Medical has had over one million customers and is one of the largest independently owed online retailers in the
Hudson and Logan


Hudson and Logan are spending the next couple of days with Grandma Kat. It's the time of year when my sister Trisha and her husband Mike take their annual vacation up north for some relaxation and leave the boys with grandma. Becca goes over to help grandma with Hudson and Logan as they can sometimes be a handful. Grandma Kat's quote of the day is "don't babies sleep anymore?" Logan is about 2 1/2 months old and is only taking short little cat naps during the day. Grandma just shakes her head and tells me "when you kids were young you ate, played, and slept for LONG periods of time. Don't babies do that anymore?" she asks me. I just smiled knowing how time clouds our memories. I know she is enjoying her time with them and is looking forward to next years visit.
