Day 1 – We Have One of Those Kids

We all know that even though children may come from the same womb, have the same parents, same looks, same upbringing, etc…they will have different personalities. Flying with Reagan for her first flight (at 8 months) was actually a joy. We were worried at first, but she proved to be a very easygoing passenger. SheContinue reading “Day 1 – We Have One of Those Kids”

One Year Ago

One year ago I was wondering just how pregnant I’d have to be before giving birth. Ashlyn had two due dates: 25 Jan and 04 Feb.

We’re down to one carContinue reading “Whose idea was it?”

What a weekend (it includes a fight)!

We had a fairly eventful weekend and a good time as a family. Friday night our neighbors came over for our weekly installment of the Jeeves & Wooster series. Can I say this is one of the greatest tv series ever put on tv? Cause it is. It’s clean, it’s funny, it’s British humor (whichContinue reading “What a weekend (it includes a fight)!”
