At the dentist
Having Pierre Robin Sequence, Namine sees her dentist at the hospital.

Taco night
A couple nights ago, we had taco night. When I got home from work, Namine was still doing her schoolwork. They’d gotten kind of a late start, so I started to brown the meat for tacos. I would have preferred fish tacos, but this meat needed to be used before it went bad.

Looking ahead
We went to the mall yesterday. What reason could we possibly have? Why, to ride the train, of course!

On the way to the hospital
Jessica spent the night at the hospital with her mom, and I stayed at home with Namine. On the way to the hospital this morning, we stopped at Starbucks to get Jessica a coffee.

Easter basket buddies
We were late to church yesterday. We’ve never been great at getting out the door, but at least we made it in time to catch the sermon.

Easter eggs and earrings
Namine has had a busy day today. She got to dye Easter eggs with both sides of our families, and she even got her ears pierced.

Balancing a busy life
Jessica’s mom is still in the hospital. It’s not my place to talk about her situation or circumstance — that’s for Jessica to write about, should she choose to — but please keep her in your prayers. Jessica and Namine will likely be paying her a visit after they’re done with school today, and I…

School comes with us
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: this is where Namine’s virtual school shows its value. We’re in the hospital again — not for Namine this time, but Jessica’s mom. A day in the hospital doesn’t mean a day away from school, though. As long as we have Namine’s books and laptop, we…

A throwback post
My Aunt CR came across some pictures and videos of Namine from 2010. Man, was she a little peanut.
