    The real news from this weekend (for us) is about Piper. One of our talented photographer friends came up to Blythedale with us on Saturday morning to take some family photos. Piper was on trache collar the whole time that we were there. We even took it off for a couple of shots. We can…

    Today is a pretty big day, for Piper. Actually, I suppose that it is a pretty big day for us, regarding Piper. I’m not going to go into all of the gritty detail, and I will try very hard not to get ahead of myself. I will tell you the vague details that I have…

    Piper has been spoiled lately with all kinds of visits from cousins, aunts uncles and grandparents. Last weekend, Piper grandma Baker came to visit her. Apparently she had been saving up some tricks specifically for this occasion. It was the first time that we had ever seen Piper completely flip herself over onto her stomach.…

    I have been a bit backed up with the video uploading for a while. So I sat down tonight and tried to get up to speed. The one below is of my little niece Maya dancing at night in Central Park. It is kinda dark, but you can get the idea. The video below was…

    Well…, Friday night, I had to work kind of late, so we didn’t really do anything, except watch American Psycho, when I got home. I was pleased that Reagan was able to go to sleep afterwards, instead of staying awake all night, out of fright (which she normally does when we watch a scary movie).…

    I hate it when I take a few days off, from writing. I feel like there is always so much to catch up on. Saturday afternoon, my mom and sister Mimi flew in to hang out with Piper. We were able to have really good visits with Piper all 3 days that they were here.…

    Here is a picture of my new snowboard and bindings that arrived today. Woo hoo! Thanks, Reagan. I got them for my birthday. I also got some new boots and pants, which are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I’m pretty excited. Now we just need some snow to start falling. More good news: Last night I…

    I just wanted to post this picture of Piper in her new rainbow shirt that her cousins gave her. Piper wasn’t really feeling that great the day we took this picture. But you would never guess, by how cute she still acts.

    Friday morning, we paid a visit to Piper, in Westchester County. It was a pretty nice sunny day. We were able to take Piper outside, for the first time ever. Her battery ran out pretty quickly, so it was a short walk, but we got a few pictures first. It was the first time meeting…
