Butera's Place

January 1st…  the day on which folks typically make resolutions for the coming year and reflect on the previous one; typically.  Being in this family we have learned typical is simply not us.  Having contemplated the year that was 2009 we came up with a list of random tidbits that we think accurately reflect our days.  Enjoy. We […]

It only took “me” (my bro- in-law hung the frames, Sweetie photo-shopped the pictures, and I was a the project manager) five months to get this picture project completed.  FIVE months!  That’s simply ridiculous even by my procrastination standards.  Want to know the real reason it’s done?  I had THREE days left in 2009 and needed to know […]

Here’s hoping you all have a great Holiday and a wonderful New Year! [singlepic id=83 w=320 h=240 float=center] Love, George, Laura, Sam and Max

[singlepic id=76 w=320 h=240 float=right] The holidays are upon us and the boys are doing great.  I’ve always enjoyed this time of year, but it just seems so much more special now that I have a family of my own.  Thanksgiving was fun.  It’s hard to believe that a year ago we were telling ourselves […]

Sam and Max are now ten months old (the latest monkey picture is on the Family Photos page).  It’s hard to believe there are only two more months until they are a year old!  In some respects, time has flown by.  In others, like waiting for Sam’s surgery, time has dragged.  But now that that’s […]

…I’m currently wading around in the shallow end looking for my sanity!

November 12, 2009 Source:  Nanotechnology Now Researchers at Purdue University have discovered a new approach for repairing damaged nerve fibers in spinal cord injuries using nano-spheres that could be injected into the blood shortly after an accident. The synthetic "copolymer micelles" are drug-delivery spheres about 60 nanometers in diameter, or roughly 100 times smaller than […]

[singlepic id=69 w=320 h=240 float=right] It’s been five days since Sam has been home and he continues to do great.  His cough is gone and the speed of his feedings are getting faster and faster.  And now that Max is over his cold and back home, we’re finally all back together! It’s amazing how empty […]

[singlepic id=68 w=320 h=240 float=right] We are so happy to announce that Sam is back home with us!  Laura pleaded her case to have him come home so that we can get him back into his routine and to give him the chance to get the rest he wasn’t getting in the hospital, and the doctors agreed.  […]
