I started this site in 2005 after our son, Wyatt, was born with a cleft palate. Over the years the posts became less about Wyatt's condition and more about every day life. Seven years later, its a place to chronicle my journey as an Army Wife and a working mother of two children struggling to find balance in life.

Christmas 2008
We went to Tony and Sandi's house for Christmas. We had a wonderful time, as per usual. I love spending holidays with the Mercardos and their family. Its crazy and hectic and so much fun. They had a gigantic tree that looked like it belonged in a hotel lobby and a spread of food from gourmet magazine. We did an ornament exchange, which so so much fun because Sandi's dad said we had to make up a story about our ornament - didn't matter if it was true or not. Our friend, Christine, brought an ornament shaped like a gift. She started her speech off saying "this is my box, there's only one like it". It was hysterical!
