This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

My Crazy Boys


The Pierces have been busy recently! There is always something that needs to be done or something to get ready for.

Not too long ago I finally got Bradley in to see a Pediatric Cardiologist. Long story short...he told his pediatrician recently that he was able to "manually" increase his heart rate when sitting still. Of course this is not normal, so she did an EKG that showed possible atrial enlargement. That earned him a referral to a specialist to make sure everything was ok! It took a few months to get in, but they were able to do all testing at that same appointment!


They did another EKG, and had him increase his heart rate while he was on it so they could watch. He made it jump from 70 to 170! Thankfully it did not show atrial enlargement on that scan, but they still wanted him to move on to do an echocardiogram to see the function and structures of his heart.


We saw the cardiologist one more time after that and right away gave us the results--everything is normal! He's just a weirdo who can easily manipulate his vagal nerve to increase his heart rate. She recommended he stop doing that. Ha!

Next was Jacob's open house for 2nd grade! He got to show us his classroom, his desk, and the projects he is working on. He loved introducing us to the friends and teachers we saw there.

Here he is standing next to his "mini me" art project.




Last Friday we went to our first Halloween event--a haunted evening at the Point Breeze Lighthouse. It's such a beautiful setting right on the shore of Lake Ontario, and one of our favorite quick spots for a picnic or trying to see the northern lights. We also got to enjoy some hot cocoa, cider, and donuts!

Lots more Halloween events coming up this weekend! The kids will have a tons of candy by the time it's over.

I also finally managed to get some great family photos! We didn't do any over the summer, so I wanted to get some done right in our backyard while we have the beautiful autumn colors on display. They turned out so nice and I can't wait to pick my favorite for our Christmas cards

Here are a few nice ones I got of the boys together! See how big they are getting?!



Lots more to catch up on, check back soon for updates!
