Clint and I have made the decision to home school Leighton next year for Kindergarten. There’s a whole post (or more) as to our decisions and reasons for that, but the main one comes down to realizing that they grow terribly fast and I want to maximize the time that I get to spend with […]
MoreThere really isn’t a time or stage that my boys have gone through that I haven’t liked or enjoyed. Whether its been the itty bitty stage with frequent wakings and feedings but special little snuggles, to the first smiles, to first steps, to the active and talkative life of a pre schooler. However Caedmon has […]
MoreFor Christmas my brother got the boys a red truck that they can drive around the yard and my parents got them matching wheel barrows and garden tools. They couldn’t be happier. Any day that it is decently nice (a term used loosely, basically if I can bundle them warm enough they its deemed […]

We go every week but there is always something special about Christmas Eve that I look forward to all December long. This year was no different. […]
MoreFriday December 20th was like every other day. I had gone for a run on the treadmill that morning and then taken Leighton to preschool and then went to go get my hair cut. Clint didn’t get called to a sub job so he stayed home and continued the potty training adventure with Caedmon (which […]
MoreOr I guess I should say lack of Christmas cards. Not Christmas cards that we’ve received, we’ve gotten quite a few this holiday season (thank you everyone) but actually Christmas cards that we’ve sent. Or actually failed to send this year.
