This blog is really about our kids, Jacqui and Kyle:

Jacqui is a wonderfully energetic and opinionated five-year-old. She was born with a rare birth defect known as a lymphatic malformation (LM) and has been through a lot in her young life. She had a trach until she was a year old, had surgery in New York to remove her LM with world renowned surgeon, Dr. Milton Waner (at age three), and still has a G-tube. She is a bright sunny soul in spite of everything.

Kyle is a thoughtful, and slightly reserved 2-year-old with a magical giggle and a wise-looking smile. He is clever and charming and a bundle of pure joy.

Our goal as parents: To treasure every moment and to raise our children to be extraordinary individuals.

Welcome to an inside view of our world!

    Oh I needed this laugh!!! We are in fever hell here, and I’ve got a very miserable 3 year old who is sick (not to mention a miserable 37 year old…some of it can be blamed on a bug, but the rest is debatable).

    Thankfully, our walls don’t bear the brunt of Andrew’s art…it’s the carpets.
