One Year 1 May 2011 | 08:24 am
It was a little over a year ago that we lost Jon. I’ve thought about what, if anything, I was going to write. This probably isn’t what I was planning, but I feel like I need to put something out there...
Christmas 28 Dec 2010 | 10:59 am
As you can probably imagine, the Christmas season this year has been very tough. At our house, we never went whole hog for Christmas, but we always put up some decorations, stockings, tree and such. T...
Happy Birthday Jon 30 Nov 2010 | 09:30 am
Today would have been Jon’s 22nd birthday. Like all parents, I will never forget that day. It is still the happiest day of my life. It wasn’t supposed to be that day, he was born more than 2 months p...

Photo Scanning Project: Update 1 14 Jun 2010 | 02:48 pm
Contrary to what you kids nowadays know, pictures weren’t always available immediately and already in a digital format. I have about 10 what we call “albums” that have actual printed photos in them. T...
As seen on “Deadliest Catch” 9 Jun 2010 | 02:49 pm
I’ve watched “Deadliest Catch” since it first started. It was one of the shows that Jon and I used to “watch” together (ie. we either literally watched it together, or we did separately but talked abo...
Alexander’s Baptism 5 Jun 2010 | 01:45 pm
Last Sunday was a very happy day for our greater family: my new nephew Alexander was baptized. The ceremony went well and we went out for a great brunch buffet with my parents and my sister-in-law’s f...
