Welcome

If you found your way to this website, then your smarter than I gave you credit for! The idea of having my own blog has been about four years in the making. When Andrew was born and having his complications, it was therapeutic for me to email my family and friends with updates on his health.

Well, with a fourth baby coming shortly, I decided that this time I was going to do it right...I mean...I already 'did it right'...well, nevermind...I thought I would finally get that blog thing going.

"They change so fast when they are that small." My mother recently said that to me when we were talking on the phone about when they come up and visit us when the baby is born. She confided that she cries whenever she has to leave after we birth another kid. Well, hopefully, we can document the changes so not only Mom, but anyone can find pictures, read stories, and waste time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Duane,

Good to hear from you my friend. It is harder to catch up without fantasy hockey. I hope all is well with you guys. I voted for Cole since Sally liked that name when she was pregnant with Sean (she also liked Sean). Peace brother.

I don't know about Cole Patrick. Sounds to much like Mayor Kwame Colpatrick. I prefer Coleman young over that thug.

Just a disclaimer from the lady of the house...I was a little nervous when Duane said he sent this out to everyone and I hadn't read it yet! I never know when he will say something a little...on/over the edge! Glad to see you are all having your input on the name-other suggestions are welcome as well. Pray for our new little man that he will make a safe arrival and that I will recover quickly. Love you all.

Cole Leon mixes Sister's english background and Duane's nursing work when you say it fast colon, therefore I like it!

Looking forward to the new addition. Things were getting too quiet around the house.
