Stirring the Pot: Volume 3

A quick introduction: Stirring the Pot was born in 2008 (as Volume 1) when Kim and Brian decided to mix it up and travel/volunteer in Peru and Bolivia for about five months. Our amazing family and friends wanted to follow our adventures, so we obliged and posted photos and stories from our travels.

Volume 2 was launched in 2010 to serve as our wedding website and get the family and friends prepped for that epic weekend in Oregon. Damn! That was a good party and wedding.

Now we have decided to re-launch Stirring the Pot as Volume 3. The current setting: Kim is pregnant with the first Kimybrian offspring, lovingly referred to by the nickname "Brim." He or she is set to make an appearance in November 2015. Brian has just recently been diagnosed with a serious disease and has a long road of treatment ahead.

What has not changed throughout the volumes is our amazing network of family and friends that care so much about us. We have received an absolutely humbling amount of love and support in the last couple weeks. We will use Volume 3 to update you all on our progress and may use it as a way to request support when needed. While we have very much appreciated all the emails and Facebook messages, we think it would be easier for us to manage this blog and have all your messages in one place. Please feel free to comment on our posts and we will be checking frequently.

Brian is also updating his Instagram account. Visit for near daily updates and life observations: https://instagram.com/b.tracy22/ We love you all so much! Thank you.

Hang in (or out, in various locales) there!
However, old geezers need a lighter background to be able to read the text. I know how, but your parents might not...

Love this. Love you both. And already in love with Brim. Already planning future engagement for our unborn children, though the sexes are unknown. It'll work.

Let me see that blog, blog, blog (set to the tune of Cisqo). I used to sing that as I blogged. More ridiculous songs will abound when Brim arrives. Good thing Brian is practicing guitar. Xoxo

Great to see one of the first photos of Brim!
Thinking of you every day.
http://lotsahelpinghands.com/ is something a friend found useful to coordinate when he needed help (and when to keep away:) , if useful for you.
Love, Paul, Justin , Julian

Kim and Brian! First off, congrats! I know with absolute certainty that you will be amazing parents to Brim. I'll be thinking of you and even though I'm far far away, I am also certain that positivity can travel long distances.
