Look At Me




Emily is getting so big! I just had to pose her and get some cute pictures while she would let me. Enjoy!

An Apple A Day...



won't keep our doctors away! Our doctors have come to know us well. Nathan broke his foot playing soccer and was slowly recovering from that, while Emily came down with a condition called eythermia multiforme minor which was a nasty viral rash. Luckily it wasn't contagious, and didn't bother her and now she is doing much better. I have a cold, and Abby is getting over one. Hopefully no more doctor visits for awhile.

Remembering



I'm sure all of us remember exactly what we were doing 7 years ago when our freedoms came under attack. I was upstairs in our rental apartment getting ready for work. I was listening to 570 AM, and Bob Lansbury was interrupted to announce that a plane had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in NY. I yelled down to Nathan to turn on the TV and see what they were saying. At first it seemed like a freak accident, and Bob quickly came back on the air. Then it was interrupted again when the second plane hit the other tower. I quickly realized then, that this was no accident. I was terrified. We were pregnant with Thomas, and I started wondering what would his future be like? Who would do such a terrible thing? I cried on my way to work, especially as I heard about the pentagon, and the plane in Pennsylvania. I like most of you, kept my eyes glued to the tv for the next few weeks while information began to come out.
Now, 7 years later I still remember. My heart and appreciation goes out to all those who lost a loved one, and to those who are risking their lives to protect the freedom that I enjoy today. We must not ever forget the price that was paid and for the lives that were lost that September Day.
