For 2013

I intend to ...

1. Not overbook myself
3. Try a new recipe each week
4. Be aware, be kind, and be a positive influence

Break Through - 2013

I am back

A Fresh Start

Hello! I have decided to change over to a new site on Tumblr. My new website will be Chalkytalk. For future posts and news, please refer to my new blog! See you there....

Happy Birthday, Josh

June 28th marked  Josh's Birthday! Emerson, Josh and I headed to the beach. Another first for Baby Emmy!   Happy Birthday, Josh! We love you lots!

Meeting May

On June 27th, Emerson met her new friend May, who was born in February. Katie is May's mom and one of my dearest friends. We have known each other since we were 18, and we joke that we have "parallel lives," meaning we go through life events at nearly the same time, and often with the same awkward strides. We joke that I am more like Bert and Katie is more like Ernie. So far, our daughters are following in our footsteps. May is definitely more of an "Ern-ball" and Emerson looks a bit more like his "Ol' Buddy Bert."

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there ... especially, this new one who is doing a remarkable job!
