We wish we weren’t doing this. Not exactly the type of opening post they suggest in Blogging 101. But now that we’ve made you feel so welcome, let us explain. We wish we were humming along in our day to day lives, never giving a thought to putting our innermost thoughts out there for anyone […]

As you know from reading Lindy’s update, we were disappointed to learn that Lindy would not be able to donate eggs for Jamie and me. I had also gone through a “mini stimulation” to see if I could produce eggs, but unfortunately, I did not respond. I think it’s amazing what stress can do to a […]

Well, talk about a long-overdue update. Sorry about that. It has been nearly a year since we updated you on our egg donation process. Life kind of got in the way of writing an update, but better late than never! When I last updated in February of 2020, some of my labs had been looking […]

I am happy to finally be sharing more information about Dylan’s foundation and her memorial video. With the bakery changing its name to Dylan’s Cottage Bakery, it felt like the right time to honor our sweet girl. The pain of losing her is very raw, and she is missed so much. I watch this video […]

One month down. Honestly, it has been a blur. It’s like time stood still and was on fast forward at the same time. I think I floated through the first week, then reality slowly started to sink in. I can’t even explain the pain of not having Dylan physically present with us. Jeff, Mason, and […]
Read MoreWritten by Harlee’s mom, Taylor Salmi Harlee is one of the sweetest, most kind-hearted, and caring little girls we have ever known. She is our middle daughter sandwiched between an older sister and younger brother! She has always done anything to make others happy and help. 🙂 For Harlee’s 5th birthday, we had a birthday […]

Our sweet Dylan, love of our lives, passed away yesterday after a 20-month battle with DIPG. We wouldn’t wish this sorrow and pain upon anyone, yet we also have relief that she’s free from her broken body. We have no doubt she’s running, jumping and dancing now. We did promise to Dylan that we will live […]
