Starting after Savannah was born, I had trouble with intense pain in the right side of my abdomen. It would hit pretty suddenly and last a few hours, and then go away. Usually I was lay awake moaning until the pain was gone. Being the type of person I am, I ignored it and assumed it was nothing. After it happened 4 times in the course of about 5 months, Paul told me he wanted me to make a doctor’s…
Dear Savannah, Today you are 6 months old. I can’t believe it’s already been half a year since you were born. Time passes so fast! We added three more states to your map this month: Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina. You also saw your first (significant) snowfall. You weren’t sure about that cold white stuff!

Last Saturday, every state in the United States except for Hawaii saw snowfall. I think that’s kinda amazing. Atlanta got a few inches, too. However, we weren’t here to enjoy it. Savannah and I drove up to Asheville, NC to visit my sister who lives up there. It snowed there so we basically stayed indoors the whole time. We were only there a little over 24 hours, but it was a lot of fun. We ventured out at one point…
