On Leaving New York.
Murray lovers: I promise to have some Murray stories and videos soon. It’s been a little crazy lately and I feel like I’ve been cutting corners with the Murray stories as of late. I will make it up to you soon. Promise. There’s been so much going on over here and I am afraid I…

One Of The Hazards Of The Job
Emory hasn’t ever been a very good sleeper. He’s great with napping, but nighttime is a different story. He hasn’t ever slept through the entire night. And I think we’ve tried everything. For whatever the reason may be, Toby Joe and I weren’t blessed with a sleeper. After two years we’ve just gotten used to…

As Tears Go By
What you’re supposed to be reading today is three months worth of posts about how Emory was going to welcome a little brother or sister into the world on February 3rd, 2010 and how his mother and father were elated that their family of three was going to become a family of four. That’s what…

Emory On So You Think You Can Dance.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post called Please Don’t Blush about how Emory had become self-conscious and stopped dancing. I have good news! My boy is back. The video below was taken yesterday while showing my mother a few dance numbers from Wednesday’s So You Think You Can Dance. One of the numbers was…

Bye Bye, School! We'll See You Next Time!
The other day a friend of mine called me sobbing. At first I thought something terrible had happened to someone in her family. My mind raced with possibilities before she was able to get the words out. “I need you to tell me it’s going to be OK!” She cried into the phone. “I need to…

Please Don't Blush.
When Emory hit the 15-month mark, he started to notice the world around him and that he was sharing it with other people. He went from a dancing, falling down toddler to realizing that people were paying attention. Instead of embracing them and pulling them in, he stopped dancing. I told everyone around us not…

March Of Dimes: Walk For Maddie
The moment I heard about Maddie Spohr’s tragic death, I knew I had to do something. So, whenever Isabel Kallman of AlphaMom wrote on Twitter stating that she’d be walking for the March of Dimes in honor of Maddie, I decided to join her. It was completely out of character for me to do something like that.…

Cupcake! WOW!
I’ve been baking cupcakes for Monday’s Mom It Down. I’m learning stuff, perfecting stuff by simplifying it as much as I can. In doing so, I have had quite a few cupcakes around lately. This is what happens when Emory realizes there are cupcakes in the house. http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377 And we’re not sure where this…

Why Do I Cry When I Jog?
I jog. I jog so I can eat cake. I’m not kidding. I’m a slow, steady runner. I jog between an 11-minute mile and a 12-minute mile. I jog five times a week and I love it. But here’s the weird part: Sometimes I cry. My friend, Heather Champ mentioned that she has emotional moments after a run…

Dear Rae Rae,
This response is very late and you’ve probably moved on by now. Truth be told, I am not sure you even visited after the way I initially responded. I can’t imagine why you would have. But I have to write this. I think about you all the time, not necessarily you personally, because I haven’t…
