September 11. A day that is forever etched in my consciousness. A day that brings with it a myriad of emotions. A day for which I am both humbled in gratitude and somber in reflection. A day that has provoked strong responses on both ends of the emotional spectrum. A day I remember with… Continue reading A Day to Remember

Birthday Shout-out
Well, another year has gone by, and since I embarrassed him publicly last year with the song about his age, I won’t go into how old he is. I’ll just simply offer this song, and say to my brother David, I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Live Long and Prosper
To my wonderful husband on his birthday… I offer you this special message of joy and cheer from me and all your best friends at Star Trek: TOS. I may not be an expert at Japanese, but I’m pretty sure it says, “Hey, Matt! Happy birthday from Kirk, Bones, Scotty and the gang over here… Continue reading Live Long and Prosper
Threads of Gratitude: Birthday Suit Edition
Wait, something about that title just doesn’t sound right… Tomorrow is Matt’s birthday. And this year we have reason to celebrate another year of LIFE! Considering all that he has endured – and survived – over the past year, he deserves to celebrate and be celebrated. As I look forward to his 45th birthday tomorrow,… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Birthday Suit Edition
The Morning After
Well, my birthday weekend of fun continued. Last night was the big birthday bash – complete with lots of foolishness, too much food, and great times with friends. Today was a bit more – shall we say – subdued. We decided not to push going to the 8:30 service and instead opted for the 10:00. … Continue reading The Morning After
Oh, brother!
Just wanted to say a big Happy Birthday to my brother, Dan! And in honor of my very big-brotherly brother, I offer this video, which I’m sure he can appreciate. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjvaNaBV3MQ[/youtube] Happy birthday, Mr. Pull-my-finger.
“Time for Tea!” (A Happy Birthday Story)
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Crisana. She was a happy little girl, especially happy because she had just celebrated a birthday. She wanted to share this birthday with all her friends, but how? “I know!” cried Crisana. “I’ll invite my friends to a Teddy Bear Tea Party!” And so she… Continue reading “Time for Tea!” (A Happy Birthday Story)
Six Things I Love About You
It wasn’t that long ago that I was doing this. No, really. Just last week, as a matter of fact. But this time, it’s Crisana’s turn! On January 22, 2003, we welcomed a precious little baby girl into our lives. Everything about her has been a surprise, from finding out we were expecting another baby… Continue reading Six Things I Love About You
9 Things I Love About You…
Somehow it’s happened. That precious little 8 lb. 12 oz. bundle of joy I once held in my arms has now reached the end of his single-digit years.  Nine years! Wow. While I try to figure out where the last 3,287 days have gone (that includes 2 extra days for leap years, for all you… Continue reading 9 Things I Love About You…
It must have been fate
On my piano teachers forum email group (think of it as a virtual teacher’s lounge for piano teachers…I know, how music nerdy can I get?), there’s been a lot of discussion about a fun website someone discovered. You can click on the links to your birthday and find out the #1 Billboard song for that… Continue reading It must have been fate
