AUTUMN'S RUNNING LATE

Parenting is hard. Like really hard. I remember a particular night when Blythe’s Glycogen Storage Disease diagnosis was still somewhat new, and I was still crunching numbers, deep in online forums, and digesting any GSD related information I could get my hands on, and a sad Crosley walks up to me and tells me that everything we do is about Blythe. I was dealing with my own overwhelming stress and constantly feeling like I was doing everything wrong because there was just so m

It’s my birthday! My favorite day of the year! The bad news is, like clockwork, I woke up with a kink in my back that reminded me I’m no...

I distinctly remember, in the days after Blythe was first diagnosed, I just couldn’t wait for it to be two years later. I didn’t want to...

I miss writing. I used to write in journals, save notes on my computer, and write letters for the girls to discover when they’ve grown...

Today I had an epiphany. Crosley had just done a not very nice thing and I exploded. Like really put her in her place. Not a shiny moment...

I completed my second marathon! I had three goals and I met one. Read on for the nitty gritty deets.

2023 SD Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon Recap. A great run followed by a ton of "calf labor".

Sometimes I feel like giving up. Eat what I want, go where I want, do what I want. But then I realize its not really an option I have.

We’ve prayed since we found out we were pregnant with this child. Praying for good health and that we find peace in any outcome.

Blythe's delivery was nothing like Crosley's. It started with a lot of stress, then everything went super fast and she was here!

This is the Crosley Lena birth recap. It's better than a race recap because instead of a medal, we brought home a beautiful little girl.

Eight years married and not a single day of regret.

First day of “real school” and I’m more excited than Crosley! And also my heart is broken over the many days that were robbed from her.

A diary entry from October 26, 2020 when only Blake knew we were expecting. 7 Weeks and 3 Days pregnant. Feeling extreme fatigue and nausea.

The story behind us learning baby’s gender, the name, and our unconventional gender reveal party.

Asking for prayers on this little one. Thanks in advance!
