Into the Mystic, the song that my husband Adam and I danced to on our wedding day (March 18, 2006). The song moves me, calms me, just makes me happy and seemed like the perfect title for a blog about our family.
The decision to begin a blog came in the summer of 2011 when we experienced a series of unexpected and life changing events. Really our excitement began earlier in the year when I decided to go back to work full time. Two short weeks later our house sold and just a few weeks after that we got the shocking news that we were pregnant with our third baby. But all of those things were not the inspiration for this blog. It was in July when we unexpectedly lost my grandmother followed by Adam's great-grandmother in August. My grandfather also passed away in August and then Adam's grandmother in October. Somewhere in the middle of all of that loss we found out that our unborn baby boy had Down syndrome.
