Due Dates

No trick or treat tonight, we’re vegging on the couch at home after a doctor visit where we confirmed a final date for pregnancy. The last ultrasound we had placed the due date for tomorrow, but if we don’t see Charlotte in a week, an induction is scheduled for the 7th. Hopefully Charlotte will treat [...]

Two weeks ago doctors diagnosed him with colon cancer after a visit for abdominal issues, [...]

We rode briefly on Sunday morning, but I didn’t feel good about it afterwards. I’ll have to visit the fitness room instead this week. Someday I’d like [...]

Moved In!

Thanks to many friends’ assistance, Kelly and I are officially moved into our condo in the redeveloped Ely Walker building in Downtown, St. Louis. Many thanks to Sean, Jim, Steve, Amanda, Hans, Kurt, Amy, Henry, and Kelly (you’re probably the only people reading this anyway). I hope you’re not too sore, because you made the [...]
