I just turned on my computer for the first time in 7 days. It still feels a bit funky. My fingers are stretching to familiar places but typing feels totally odd. Yesterday, I woke up to cuddle a freezing Jackson back to sleep. Today, he woke up in his crib to a warm bowl of…… Continue reading Back From the Brink

The move is done!
