Bald Eagle Watching on the Mississippi River
January 23, 2009

Eagle watchers at the pedestrian/cycling only Chain of Rocks Bridge or other " Eagle Days" areas often see the Read more...

Transitioning back to preschool after winter break
January 05, 2009

Teachers and bus drivers agreed that most of the kids were "out of sorts" with some being more tearful and others returning to shy behavior that had disappeared after the Read more...

It's cold and flu season again!
November 05, 2008
Unfortunately, we have entered cold, flu and RSV season in our part of the country. This will be our fourth winter with former preemies so we have gained a lot of knowledge about how to avoid common illnesses. While they are now 30lbs a piece and much stronger than in their NICU days, we still have to worry about respiratory viruses because they struggle to recover more than other kids. Last Read more...
