    After staying after school for help with her friend Monica, Carey, one of my Honors Physics students, had what she called “an odd request.” “I, uh, heard that the faculty room vending machine has M&M’s, and, uh, we’re not allowed in there without a teacher, and I, uh, really want some M&M’s and, uh, was [...]

    We haven’t had baby showers so much as a torrential downpour. The outpouring of love and gifts for us and this little one have been overwhelming.

    John and I had just finished Christmas Eve celebrations with the Jameson/Arrison clan and arrived at my parents’ house, crawling into bed around midnight.  As we were praying before sleep, I felt the baby kick.  For the first time, I was sure this was the baby and not my digestive system.  I told John and [...]
