The things she left behind.

I’m sitting in his room while I write this, propped up by his crib, feet stretched out towards his changing table.  If it’s okay, I’d like to tell you about his room so that someone else knows what it’s like in here.  Will you please just let me do that tonight?
On one side of me [...]

Gone.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve received several emails along the same lines: “Why aren’t you writing more about Baby?” You want to know if everything is going well, how Roomie is feeling, etc. And, because you’ve followed our story for the last few months, this post seems needed, almost expected.
Five months ago, [...]

Dear Abby.

Dear Abby-without-a-last-name,
I’m still trying to figure out which Abby you are, since a quick search of the 3,489 comments on my blog turned up multiple Abby’s. And so, since I don’t know who this specific Abby is, you get a whole post dedicated just to you.
What you probably didn’t know when you placed that [...]

Starlite’s Christmas ‘O Fun: Surprise #5!

Note: the rest of this post is [...]

Starlite’s Christmas ‘O Fun: Surprise #4!

After we left Pump It Up, we headed to one of our partner churches to spend the night. We connected with this church a couple of years ago and, since then, I have grown to love this particular church more each time I’ve visited. They hosted us for the night in their youth [...]

Starlite’s Christmas ‘O Fun: Surprise #3!

Once we got to Pump It Up and the girls saw the two arenas full of various inflatables, they went crazy. The minute we got in the room, they were pulling off coats, mittens and shoes and literally throwing themselves onto the inflatables.
Okay, I was one of the first ones out there. What [...]

Starlite’s Christmas ‘O Fun: Surprise #2!

And the surprises continue!
After finishing up at Chuck E. Cheese, we surprised the girls with a trip to Steak ‘n Shake for some milkshake goodness in whatever flavor their little hearts desired. The funniest part was when everyone’s milkshake arrived — except mine! Perhaps a divine nudge in honor of the (Not So) [...]

Starlite’s Christmas ‘O Fun: Surprise #1!

I know you all have been waiting on pins and needles to find out exactly what we surprised our college girls with this past weekend and who am I to keep the goodness from you?
And trust me, it was good.
In order to cover everything, I’ll be putting five (FIVE!) different posts up today, each labeled [...]

I thought you might like to listen in.

Oh, internet? Are you there?
The names Anna, Stephanie, Becky, SarahRuth, Dalphina, Sarah, Erika, Rebekah, Stefannie, Nina, Joy, Mary, Keri, Jenelle, Mareta, Anna and Lizy probably don’t ring a bell for most of you.
Those 17 names though? They belong to 17 cute college girls who have spent the last four months working their very [...]
