All parents are over-impressed with their kids’ gifts and talents… it’s just an endearing fact of raising miniature people. Last Thursday Natesy waved goodbye to Grandma for the first time. We cheered and clapped like love-sick groupies. It’s been no different with Jakey. Just a week ago, he was looking…
I do my best not to publish our dirty laundry on the internet– though it is tempting. When surrounded by little boys, there is no limit to the number of embarrassing incidents and humbling anecdotes that are best not documented for the entire world to read. Now with that said……
I’ve never really wondered what the best sound in the entire world is… and then I heard it. The virtuous cycle of Natesy giggling, which makes Jakey giggle, which makes Natesy giggle even harder. I’m sure even Mozart would agree.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Jakey started calling us Mom and Dad. And he wouldn’t stop begging to drive the car. Apparently 2 is the new 16.
Today’s Natesy’s 9-month birthday! I can hardly believe how fast he is growing up. Happy Birthday my adorable baby… or should I say big boy?! It seems he’s just become horizontally mobile and then… last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, he pulled himself up into a standing position. I just…

Jake only knows the name of one place in the whole world. And I’m pleased as punch to report that once place is… Santa Cruz. I’m so proud. Lately he spends a lot of time telling us about “his work.” “Mama, I need to get my jet shoes. I forgot…
Sometimes I wonder what my boys will be when they grow-up. It’s hard to imagine, though I’m pretty sure I can cross Dr. Jake off the list of potential possibilities. Now I don’t like to prejudge my kids’ personalities, hopes or futures, but I think this is a pretty safe…
Last week Natesy turned a corner. Literally. One minute he was alone in the bathroom, and the next minute I heard him in Jake’s room with his daddy and his big brother. Nathaniel has never liked being alone. He wants to be where the action’s at. And now he doesn’t…
I’m happy to report, with quite a sense of relief I might add, that Jake is not color blind. It’s been touch and go for almost two years. His father is a graphic communication major who once aced a test where he had to put 98 colors in the correct…
