When pregnant (by pleasant surprise mind you) with Andi Jane, I said to my OB, “You have to cut her out”. With no dx for Lily at that time I thought birth injury could still be a possibility and I was not willing to take that risk. My due date was March 31st 2005 and …
When guests showed up they saw signs displaying “Foundure for a Cure”, we added the “” in order to make it look like it was a poetic spin on the words on Fondue and Cure, but the truth is it was a big ol mistake that made us all laugh. And now the joke will …

Today was a wonderful day filled with cards, gift cards for pampering, great family time at my parents home… picking up Oli’s poop off Andi’s carpet…. you know typical Mother’s Day.At the end of the night we had to say good-bye to Andi and Oliver who were sleeping at my parents, it was the best …
I don’t ever remember the Family Circus mom ever looking frazzled, but I always remember Cathy being frazzled and that seems odd to me.
