Almost a year ago, I got an email from the cool people behind See Kai Run saying they wanted to name a pair of shoes after my Piper Jane! They noticed that the majority of Pip’s shoedrobe is from See Kai Run, and that’s what you do for your VIP clients…you name a shoe or [...]
Walking in on Piperjane.
My favorite part of my Pip visits is the moment I first walk in. I usually kind of sneak in quietly to see what Piperjane is up to before she knows she’s being watched. I often find her in funny positions, playing with her figures or climbing things that aren’t meant to be climbed. It [...]

Piperjane and the Christmas concert.
I’m finally able to talk about the Christmas concert without crying. Not to sound all pitiful, but it was very disappointing. It’s just that I was so excited to take Piperjane to it. I envisioned her “getting” it and enjoying the music. I got giddy imagining us dancing to the songs and smiling at all [...]

Adorable in ridiculous proportions.
Adorable part 1- Piperjane carrying around a figurine at all times. Nothing new, but cute as ever. Adorable part 2-This swinging game that Jake and Pipsey do together. Everyone within a ten mile radius feels the happiness she radiates, I’m sure of it. Adorable Part 3-The smile on Piperjane’s face when I showed up to [...]

Piper Jane is a tender loving mother.
One of the most adorable things Piperjane does with her little figurines and her blanky, is swaddle them. I guess she just knows how much she likes to be swaddled in her soft silky blanket, so why wouldn’t her little guys? She has swaddled everything from the likes of G.I. Joe to My Little Ponies [...]

Happy Jingle Jingle.
I know we are clear past holidays, but Jake just finished up this cute little video of Piper Jane with her presents on Christmas morning. I thought you all might like to see how that little monkey-frog tore open and examined the various items in her pile. Piper Jane, Christmas Morning 2011 from Piper Breinholt on [...]

Christmas Morning
Jake and I got up bright and early Christmas morning to drive up to Pip’s house. She was still asleep when we got there, so I set up her pile of presents. Jake and I noticed that Pippy had a weird tube coming out of her Gtube sight, and when I asked the nurse about [...]

Merry Christmas!
Let’s talk about how busy the Breinholts have been. We have both been working a lot. We weren’t ever able to take family pictures in time to send out cards, so we took some the week before Christmas hoping to at least post them on my blog/facebook for our friends/families on Christmas day. But then [...]

The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
One of my favorite things about Piper Jane’s new room is that it’s much quieter. Hospitals tend to be pretty loud between the beeping machines and the nurses and kids hollering to each other, phones ringing, TVs…it’s not a very relaxing atmosphere. But there is something really different about her new room. I think it [...]

Piper Jane’s new couch.
It’s awesome. I never knew how much I hated all the rooms she has ever been in her entire life until she moved. The couch is glorious. (snow white likes it too)
