About Me

This blog used to be called "Arwen/Elizabeth". I started it in October 2004 as a way to work through my feelings about the struggles my husband and I were having trying to conceive our first child.

In February of 2006, we were surprised and delighted to find that I was pregnant. Our daughter Camilla Claire was born October 14, 2006.

In June of 2008, a second line on a pregnancy test shocked me once again. Our son Blaise Alexander was born January 19, 2009.

This is no longer a blog of trying to conceive. It is the blog of our family, of the enormous blessings God has bestowed on us. It needed a new name.

When it was just Bryan, Camilla, and me, my mother-in-law dubbed us the "ABC Family". Adding Blaise to the mix didn't change the initials, although my husband the math geek says we should now call it the "AB²C Family".

I figure if God blesses us with more kids, "ABC" can become "Arwen, Bryan, and Children."

It could also stand for "Always Being Catholic" which we are. If I want to go the slightly sanctimonious route, I could make it into a motto: "Always Be Charitable."

Or "Absolutely Beyond Crazy". That one's true for sure.
