Download Day – “Beautiful…”

As promised in my last post, I have created a boy and girl version of the John Lennon song we have hanging in Coleman’s room.  When Coleman had just been born, like most dads, Jason oversaw the weighing, cleaning and checking of him.  They did it all right in the delivery room but it was [...]

Our Space

Because Cole came 3 weeks early, not only did I have a few work deadlines that weren’t finished yet but his room wasn’t quite ready either.  It took me a few weeks to receive some of the things I had ordered and get it all pulled together.  Although I had wanted it to be done [...]

Cuttlebug Sneak Peek

I just got word from Provo Craft that they are running a sneak peek of the new Cuttlebug launch on their Cuttlebug blog and guess what – the sneak peek is a design from yours truly!  I won’t spoil the surprise and show you any more than what you see when you click over to [...]

“Wee Care Calling”

As you can imagine, there have been so many tiny moments of discovery in our lives over the last 8 weeks.  Some of those discovery moments have been ones I would have passed on if given a choice (I didn’t know that it was normal for poop to be various colors).  Some moments have made [...]

Download Day – How It All Began

I was a teenager during the early 80s.  Before email. Before scanners and computers in general.  I took typing in junior high – on real typewriters.  I remember having to make copies of things by using carbon paper.  So instead of cool fonts and digital images and clipart, if you wanted to pass along information [...]

Meal Delivery 101

Our neighborhood ROCKS! Seriously. After we had little Coleman, we received many meals from friends and neighbors (which is like a dream come true for me). We have also had lots of meals brought in over the years while Jason has been in the hospital, etc. So you might say that [...]

365 Days of Gratitute Update

I’m sure that it comes as no surprise that my 365 Days of Gratitude project has taken a sharp turn when it comes to what kind of photos have made it into the mix over the last 6 weeks.  And although I am consumed by the amazingness of this little guy in our lives I [...]

Download Day & Many Thanks

First of all – thank you, thank you to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday on March 12th!  I have to admit – and I know it is not surprise to all of you – that this has been the best birthday ever for me (second only to when I got a Holly [...]

Happy Birthday!

Hello all, Jason here–and today, I’m taking over the blog.
Today is Kolette’s birthday. This June the two of us will have been married 17 years. In those years I have seen beauty and courage the likes of which I believed only to exist in fairy tales. But, over the last six weeks I have seen [...]

Believe in Growth

I’m back.  It’s been almost 6 weeks but I decided that because six months or a year from now it will be hard to take time off with the excuse of “I’m taking a break…I just had a baby,” I better take advantage of it now and give myself a chance to enjoy this little [...]
