We let Nathan watch television for the first time ever tonight.  The three of us huddled around the tiny flat screen in our library and watched the first African American accept the nomination for the President of the United States.  And while I was crying because this election has proved what our parents always told [...]

I love my son more than I could ever hope to even begin to express. I felt a strong overwhelming sense of something for him from the day I found out I was pregnant and all the doctors were touching my shoulder and telling me they were sorry and we could try again in [...]

Someone needs to help me NOT order Nathan’s first birthday cake from here.  They are so pretty.  And it only happens once.  And after seeing her storybook cake (in the children’s section of the cake gallery - just ANOTHER reason not to do your entire site in Flash) don’t you think she’d do an amazing [...]
