Caroline Patricia… an angel star

June 21st, 2008 · 14 Comments · babies, life, memories, mom

Stars.
My best friend Bernadette believes in stars. Stars bring comfort and light. Stars reflect earth’s dreams. Stars are God’s promise of morning.
And stars are reminders that her dad is watching and guiding from heaven.
Tonight, there is a star-garden filling the entire universe. Twinkling stars. Diamond stars. Wishing stars. […]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

My poor husband. Even before we were married, Steve knew he had a lot to live up to as a husband and a father.
You see, I have the greatest dad in the world. I have been blessed with this kind, loving, encouraging, gentle, fun, generous father who has showed me, from day one, just what […]

June 5th, 2008 · 15 Comments · dad, life, mom, pictures, sisters

Remember when I posted a few days ago about how, despite June 1st being a sad anniversary, I was surrounded by so much love and beauty that I couldn’t help but smile?
Here’s why…
I spent some time at the park with my husband and our babies (and look how cooperative they were, posing like champs):

I have WHAT in here!?

May 27th, 2008 · 14 Comments · life, mom

Inspired by Rocks In My Dryer’s blog post - “What’s in your car?” - I immediately thought of her post when I was searching in my pocketbook for an elastic band for my hair last night.

In a word, I was HORRIFIED by the contents of my pocketbook.
So here goes…

Appropriate pocketbook items:

May 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · Birthday, life, mom, traditions

When each of my grandchildren celebrates a birthday, I buy a special pair of pajamas (anything from dinosaurs to race cars and rockets, princesses to snow bunnies and flowers) and have them embroidered with the birthday date and year. I make absolutely sure that the pajamas are given on the actual birth-day, so the […]

Priceless…

Less than 5 weeks to go.
Matthew is working crazy hours right now.
Knowing full well that 3 boys, all 4 and under, are non-stop…
Having Mom and Dad come over this morning, cook breakfast and occupy the kids from 6 am to 8:30 am… while I took a (gasp!) glorious shower.
Yes, PRICELESS.

(Thanks Mom and Dad. Is […]

The tradition continues…

May 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Brown University, memories, mom, traditions

I don’t know why I’m always so surprised… because my mom has bought me 3 special “coming home from the hospital outfits” for each of my 3 boys.
And her tradition continues with Henry.
With 5 weeks and counting… I was greeted this morning with the first gift of his coming home outfit. Talk about getting […]
