A blog about us. our lives. our struggles. our victories.

Rob and Anne-marie

Rob and I take about 3-4 walks a day with Reagan around the big pond at the Arnold/Winnie Palmer hospital complex. During the last hospital stay I remember telling Rob, “It would stink to be one of those families who walks around this pond as the outing of the day…I don’t want to be that […]

The other day I decided to look at Reagan’s adoption video…with her birthday coming up, I think I was getting sentimental about the day she was born and wanted to relive those first few moments. I was shocked that in just a year, almost 20,000 people have viewed it. Before the adoption video, I did […]

As Reagan’s first birthday approaches, I have so much to reflect on over this past year. Looking back, I don’t know how we did it. She has never been sick, even though I was sick for about a month, and Rob somehow had a fever for a brief moment. We’ve figured out her food, even […]

Rob and I were so excited for Reagan’s first Thanksgiving…earlier in the week, our team at Nemours decided we could try to give her a few “thanksgiving” items. As in, real foods, not baby food, so we were so excited to measure out sweet potatoes from the casserole and even have her taste a little […]

Out of the Mouth, the Heart Speaks. I’ve always loved that verse, especially that particular part; out of the mouth, the heart speaks. Below are the verses in context. Matthew 12:33-37 33“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by […]

Today is our nine-year wedding anniversary!  Being married to Rob is amazing…it’s a beautiful thing when you have a partner who you can talk freely with; share your dreams, fears and thoughts with.  It’s awesome to share your life with someone who loves you for you, doesn’t judge you, draws the very best out of […]

The title of this blog is a complete oxymoron, but there’s good reason.  Let me explain… In my mind, I feel the need to control every situation for Reagan.  Who am I going to let be around her…who have THOSE people been around…and so on and so forth.  You would call that a tight grip, […]

April 13, 2013 was the first time Rob and I have been able to go church since Reagan was born.  Man, it was amazing to go and see our friends and sing and worship and just be in the place we have called our church home for the past four years or so.  Sure we […]

This post is going to be all over the place, but I have a lot to get out and this is my place to share my feelings and update everyone who is following Reagan’s story.  So, here we go. April 2, 2013 I spoke with Reagan’s dietician…after an increase in her protein intake b/c of […]

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.  Psalm 30 – God shows his character in an unbelievable way in Psalm 30.  He comes to the rescue…He heals you, spares you, saves you.  And his one request, that we sing praises.  Sometimes it feels like we are in the muck and mire […]
