For your viewing pleasure…..A video that everyone should watch: I have super-exciting news, and can’t do it justice today, but [...]

I don’t have much to say about my favorite pictures of my favorite boys this week. I enjoyed using my new/replacement 50mm lens, and caught AJ watching for the big kids to come home from school, as well as Twizzler blowing up a big yellow balloon. It’s been a busy week. The best part of [...]

A year ago tomorrow: February 26, 2009. Reese and AJ shared a piece of spaghetti. My own little Lady and the Tramp. I love looking through my old pictures and remembering happy moments–the big moments as well as the small ones. I love that my kids love each other. I love that they do silly [...]

Sleep on the Couch? Not Me!
Monday, February 22, 2010 By 29 Comments
Believe it or not, I did not buy a king sized bed so that the whole family would have room to sleep in it together. I also did not buy a king sized bed so that I could sleep on the couch. I like my bed. It’s comfortable. Apparently, everyone else in the family agrees [...]
