Yesterday was May 1st– Nate’s two month birthday. He’s not even remotely little anymore, what happened? It also happened to be the day that the government announced they have finally killed Osama Bin Laden. And on the exact same night that the United States finally cornered its nemesis, Nate slept…
Last night after dinner we’re playing on the living room floor and Jake starts asking about jellybeans. “Mama, jellybeans go?” “Jellybeans? What jellybeans?” (I’m pretty sure I covertly emptied all jellybean filled plastic eggs into the trash during nap time… before they could be burned into his memory.) “No, Mama,…

Birdies. We are all about birdies. Chasing more than watching. Jakey knows that eggs come from chickens and that a variety of birds make an array of sounds. A few of his favorites include: Rooster: Cock-a-goo-gooooo Chicken: Buck buck Crow: Caw! Caw! (He spends a lot of time trying to…
Last week our microwave gave up the ghost. It was exactly 18 months old. I’m pretty sure my parents are still using a microwave that is 22 years old… I like to think the microwave lasted such a short time due to overuse as a time-out time keeper. It was…
Ever since Jacob was able to see past the end of his nose, he has been highly attuned to PDAs: Public Displays of Affection. Only between Mommy and Daddy. When he was little he would yelp if we hugged or kissed. As he got older, his face would take on…
