Well, I found out on Tuesday that I am 11 weeks pregnant and the due date is July 3rd! Could that mean I might have either a Canada Day (July 1st) or Independence Day baby?! I’m just so relieved to finally have some dates to work with, etc! * * * * * In other [...]

When Micah was a newborn, from about 0-4 months, we had him in our bedroom with us and would end up transferring him from his bassinet into our bed most nights. On the whole, I loved having him in between us, snuggling his tiny body, nuzzling his soft head, etc. We got some cute pictures [...]

Our street this morning after New York’s first snowfall of the year! Delicious soup Rick made last night, served with Naan bread and yogurt Micah and his friend Owen in Children’s Church today (yep, we keep the small ones fenced in as much as possible!;)

Large populations of mice are a less glamorous reality of life in Brooklyn. Rick and I found this out soon after moving into this apartment…our little rodent friends occasionally scurrying across the kitchen or even into the living room area when they feel more brave.

We spent the day helping in preparing a delicious turkey dinner (Rick gets many props for doing the [...]

What will make me go to bed feeling a greater sense of accomplishment and ultimately, a confidence I didn’t waste my life but made each day(or most anyways;) count? What has been [...]

We finally got a video camera, a cheap clearance model, but video none-the-less. Enjoy(oh, and when the video finishes you’ll see options for other “baby Micah’s” they are babies, they are named Micah, but they are not THE Micah. just fyi) -Rick P.S. Susanna says: “I never realized how quirky I sound talking to Micah [...]

I’d been having my suspicions and Saturday they were confirmed: I’m pregnant again! Rick and I may be fools but we’re telling everyone and just can’t keep news like this to ourselves! Thankfully, as a friend at church told me on Sunday, “the more people you tell, the more people will be praying for you [...]
