K1, UC Berkley & Raja

Maggie, Tiki, Dax and Gabby are all at K1. They're having a great time (it looks like they are). I dropped them off after flying straight there from Kigali and I'm sure they were exhausted. But I know they are having the best time ever and I'm not the least bit worried that jet lag is getting them down.

I love this group of pictures because Tiki is with his cousin from Arizona, Peyton. Those two have the greatest relationship! They love each moment they get to be together and they get to be together for four weeks now!

I love the middle picture. It is Tiki, Dax and Gabby with their cousin, LillyAnne. I love that they all four found each other the first night. The pic isn't great (couldn't the photographer have said, "hey you four, look at me and smile!" Oh well.) but I love that they are all together!

This may be my favorite group of pictures. This is Maggie truly happy. Her smile is so genuine (especially in that middle picture on the right) and that makes my heart so happy. I love when my girl is truly happy!

Meanwhile, Hays is at UC Berkley at an engineering camp for the week. He is going to learn so much! I am so excited that he gets to meet other kids who love to do what he loves and then the "professors" he will have (one is a big wig at NASA) will leave a lasting impact. I cannot wait to hear all about it!!!

And in other news. . .we came home from Rwanda to a cat with a broken femur. What? Poor thing has been limping around for three weeks, so I took him to the vet yesterday and sure enough, he shattered the head of his femur. Surgery? Yep. What in the world? I am a dog person. How do I have a cat (that should be the real question) who has to have surgery? Oh my! So, surgery for Raja on Wednesday.

The Grief of a Stepmom

The grief of a stepmom. This post has had so many titles: The Invisible Grief of a Stepmom, The Silent Grief of a Stepmom, The Lonely Grief of a Stepmom. . . the grief of a stepmom is like no other grief because it feels so homeless. My stepson died a few weeks ago. Marc and I have only been married eight months and Mackay, my stepson, lived in NYC and we rarely got to see him (he didn't get to come to the wedding or Cabo and didn't stay with us when he came to town), so I didn't have much of a relationship with him. So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone. While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next. I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the

Should've Said No. . . ?

Andy proposed during a curtain call of Me and My Girl , a musical in which he played an old man who went most of his life without telling the woman he loved that he loved her... Twenty-three years ago today Andy asked me to marry him. . . . he was my best friend and I thought he was the love of my life. Should I have said no? I don't know how many times I have now been asked a version of that question in the past couple of years and I cannot count the number of times I have asked myself that question over the past decade, but it is a dumb question with no great answer. If I would have said no 23 years ago, I would have saved myself from so many tears and so much pain, but I would have missed so much laughter and so many exciting firsts and I would be such a different person. . . . Because of this day, 23 years ago, I am who I am and I have so much to be thankful for. Because of this day, 23 years ago, I have five of the best kids on the planet. They are t

Mother's Day Thoughts

I've been feeling so many Mother's Day feels this weekend. For starters, my big kids came home to surprise me and that was the most wonderful thing! I remember Mother's Day 2017 when I cried because Hays was a Senior in high school and heading to Texas A&M and I thought it would be my last Mother's Day with my five all together. . . . and yesterday proved those tears unnecessary! And then, as if that wasn't more than I could ever wish for, Marc spoiled me like I have never been spoiled before. I am consistently blown away and humbled by how much he appreciates me and shows me his appreciation with words, gifts, acts of service and more. I am so grateful for this husband of mine and the way he loves me and shows our kids what selfless love is supposed to look like! But even before yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about all of the different dimensions of motherhood I now experience and it is shaping me into a new and stronger and more compassionate and
