Last Friday we had our appointment at Hasbro Children’s Hospital with a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. As soon as Jackson and I stepped foot in the hospital I thanked God for Jackson’s health. My heart hurt for all the sick babies and kids and their families who were going through such a difficult time. We met with [...]
We have had another super busy week here! The grand finale of our hectic week was a special treat for Jackson, on Saturday we attended a concert by his favorite musician: Laurie Berkner! She came to Providence to the VMA and since we bought tickets several months ago, we lucked out with third row seats. [...]

Dear Jackson, Today marks your fifteenth month with us. They have been the quickest fifteen months of my life! It feels like yesterday I was holding you on my chest at Women & Infant’s Hospital after you were born. A lot has changed since that December day, you are now a walking, talking toddler with [...]
