(Note: Congratulations to Amanda Huyser for winning my hair bow this week!) Life is changing again for us. I was so sad about Caleb starting preschool this year, but in the last few weeks I have also been so sad about it ending. It's funny how that changed this year.

I have been so excited about our schedule being freed up and creating lots of Continue Reading

That fifteen minutes of bliss didn't prepare me for the next 5 hours! Rea woke up with diarrhea all over her and her Continue Reading

I love having boys! Here are my cute boys...being...well BOYS! In order... 1. Enjoying being superheros 2. J excitedly about to pounce Caleb with his superhero powers 3.
