Searching for The Missing Piece: December 2013
http://searchingforthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. It's almost impossible to put into words. Twenty thirteen was one heck of a year! When I look back at this post. I wrote on January 1st, I was finally feeling hopeful that 2013 was going to be our year. Boy was it ever! Before we move on, pardon me while I take a moment to reminisce about 2013. Will forever be my favorite month ever! Brought my 38th birthday. What a difference a year makes! He was a trooper and did very well on the trip. Really not a fan of the ocean, but ...

http://searchingforthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/2013/12/december-update-9-10-months-and-more.html
Wednesday, December 18, 2013. December Update- 9 and 10 months and more. It's about time. There just isn't enough of it. There's always something that needs my attention it seems. Hoping that will change now that I have finished one of the big time drainers. I graduated with a second master's degree last Saturday. This is my second MSEd, this one in Instructional Technology. It was tough doing it all while working full time and being a new mom. I'm DONE with taking classes for a LONG time now! Quinn "cel...

Searching for The Missing Piece: August 2013
http://searchingforthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. Six months. and a few days! My sweet boy celebrated his half birthday on Tuesday. How in the world is it possible that he is already 6 months old? Not even close. There are parts that are more challenging that I thought possible, and other parts that are more incredible than I could have ever dreamed. We're trying to get on a regular nap schedule, with three naps right now. We're getting there. He had been taking all of his daytime naps in his swing, but he's a little t...We to...

Searching for The Missing Piece: Life with a Toddler
http://searchingforthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/2014/06/life-with-toddler.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Life with a Toddler. Life with a toddler is intense. It's amazing and wonderful, but intense. I don't think I was prepared for just how intense life would be. This little face lights up my world, but also drains just about every drop of my energy each day. I wouldn't trade a moment, but this momma is running on fumes most of the time. We also put in a patio and bought some outdoor toys for Quinn. He wants to be outside as much as he can. He's a boy after our own hearts! Yes, lif...

Searching for The Missing Piece: Closure?
http://searchingforthemissingpiece.blogspot.com/2013/09/closure.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. Finally heard from M today. Apparently the court granted full custody of both the baby and their daughter to the father. M says she had no idea that was even a possibility. She also said that she was going to an "inpatient facility". I'm sure we weren't told the whole story. I don't think we will ever know the whole story. Or even a tiny part of it. I said it. It's not fair that she can get pregnant and I can't. And in the end, an amazing woman who has never met Chris or I g...
