We did it. We just submitted, in writing, our intent to leave this apartment complex. Whew! It feels great to have that out of the way. We can’t wait to get out of here… out from under the gigantic man and his stomping… out from under people peeing so loudly into their toilets that you [...]
It’s true. There is nothing fun about it. Zilch. Nada. Zip. Nothing.
A week ago today I thought I was going to die. I cried out to God every second of the day from 10:20 am until 5 am Friday morning because I could not handle the overload of pain and fever and weakness and [...]

UPDATE: got some images [...]

Four years old today!
James took eight steps, unassisted, yesterday. David was playing with him as I made dinner, so I didn’t see it happen, but I believe it. His favorite thing is to pull up on something and let go. His record is about 100-120 seconds free standing. He certainly doesn’t care for walker type toys at this [...]
Baby Dedication, Take 1, uploaded by davejenbarnes
We attended the baby dedication service at our church on Saturday. James had both sets of grandparents there with him! It was a very special time.
