4 years ago on July 16, 2012 our family was shaken to its very core. Our 4 month old daughter, Olivia, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Our worst nightmare was coming true and there was nothing we could do to change it. I will never forget that day. I woke up that morning to Olivia having … Continue reading 4 Years Ago

Seas of Change

July 13, 2016July 13, 2016 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

We recently got back from a week long vacation in San Diego. We had a beautiful time playing on the beach, visiting Sea World, and checking out the tide pools. It was so different from our last visit. We went to San Diego 2.5 years ago about a month after Olivia passed away. It was a … Continue reading Seas of Change

We are incredibly excited to announce that Olivia and Wyatt are going to have a little brother or sister in early December!

Mother’s Intuition

April 8, 2014 / Katie Caldwell-Burchett / Leave a comment

Mothers have an uncanny ability to sense trouble when it comes to their children. I often find myself jolt awake just a few minutes before Wyatt or Olivia would wake up like I could sense that they were going to need me momentarily.This amazing intuition was even more prominent when it came to Olivia's health. … Continue reading Mother’s Intuition

Blue eyed and broken hearted

 From the moment I found out we were having twins I was incredibly excited. It meant that my babies would have a built in best friend. Someone who would always love them, be there for them, and help them no matter what life could throw their way. I never imagined that my little girl would … Continue reading Blue eyed and broken hearted

Olivia, my little ray of sunshine

It has been more than 4 months since my sweet Olivia became an angel in Heaven. The ache for her doesn't lessen as the days go by. In fact, in some ways it becomes more real and more difficult as time ticks on without her. Every day I walk past her bedroom and I imagine … Continue reading Olivia, my little ray of sunshine
