My First Post

I've long wanted a place to write about my life, my family, my not-so-deep thoughts on the world, so I started this blog. I don't know if I'll ever have anything interesting to say, maybe I will on occasion, but not often. I'm a working mom of two, Kathleen and Norah, and they are my raison d'etre, absolutely the light of my life. I struggled for years to conceive children, and it is almost overwhelming to me that I have them now. I feel very blessed. Ten years of marriage, 7 years of trying, two children. Wow. If you can indulge me, some pictures of the kids by way of introduction.

Here is Katie, wearing old clothes and "helping" me in the garden. Further proof that she is related to her father.

And here is our Norah, our IVF baby, and 3 years in the making.
