Days Gone By
I just spent the evening playing with Maddie. She’s still army-crawling up a storm (one of these days she’ll figure out that her legs are helpful), discovering her toys, and interacting with Mike and me. It’s so much fun to watch her world expand by leaps and bounds every second of the day.... Read more...

Spohr On The Floor
The moment we’ve been awaiting for the last month or so has finally arrived. I’ll let Madeline’s Ducky friend tell you the rest of the story. We seriously have to kick the baby-proofing into high gear. Looks like our salad days of throwing razor blades on the ground and leaving forks near... Read more...

Puss and Puffer Fish
Mike and I knew that we wanted to try to start a family right away, so we decided to go all out on our honeymoon. We saved like crazy and budgeted and worked overtime and we managed to have our dream vacation: seven days in Fiji and five in Australia. We were beyond excited. It took over 24 hours... Read more...

Happiness Is A Warm Pup
On a cool February morning back in 2005, Mike told me that he had a surprise for me, and we had to go “pick it out” that afternoon. I had no idea what it could be, but I was beside myself trying to figure it out. The time dragged by, but finally 1pm came around and we were in the car. As we... Read more...

Just Call Me Grinch
Yesterday afternoon I got an email that absolutely infuriated me. I knew when I saw the subject line that I wasn’t going to like the body of the email, but I clicked through anyway. As soon as I read the first few lines, I was screaming at my computer screen. My coworkers were scared. What was... Read more...

Curing Cancer Cup By Caffeinated Cup
If you’re looking for some funny, go here after 10ish. I wrote a freaking hilarious post, if I do say so myself. Cancer sucks. I know, you’re thinking, “DUH” of course it does. Anyone who has read this site in the last few months knows that cancer has shown its ugly face and is attacking... Read more...

New Tricks
Madeline has learned some new tricks in the last few weeks. She babbles…CONSTANTLY. She replies to me about 75% of the time - and sometimes she’s rather musical about it. I managed to get a video of her answering my sounds, and one time she answered with a vocal warm up I do all. the. time. I... Read more...

When I See Her Smile
Maddie was a busy girl this weekend. She went with me to lunch on Saturday, then we ran some errands. On Sunday she went with Mike and me to a birthday party and then to into my office. I’m really glad that Maddie’s health is stable enough at the moment to allow all these excursions. We’ll... Read more...

Who Are You And What Have You Done With Heather?
Last night, I thought I was 22 years old again, and I stayed out until 2:30 in the morning. Who do I think I am?! A good thing happened at my office yesterday. A certain, uh…department came in first place against a bunch of other, uh, offices. Yeah. I know it’s lame that I’m talking in... Read more...

What Did I Miss?
When I found out I was pregnant, it goes without saying that I was excited. And of course I wondered about the demon spawn in my belly. Would it be a mini-me or a mini-Mike? But I also dreamed about the maternity clothes (I know, weird, right?) and the changes my body would go through. I always... Read more...
