Summer Fun
18 Months
The past month has been such a great joy as my little men become 18 months old. It’s amazing how much they’ve changed in the past six months. How much more independent and adventurous. And yet they are still my little baby boys who love to cuddle and need to keep Momma [...]
Sleep Disruption
I think that another reason this week feels tougher is because I’m on my sixth day of not getting a full night’s sleep. For two days Logan was getting too hot at night and waking up at around 11:30 for an hour, so I bought them cooler sleep sacks. Then for two days [...]
It’s Time

Ribbit Ribbit
The other day I had the boys in the back yard with me while I was watering some plants. When I put the hose up, I noticed between my hot-tub up and the wall of the house was a frog! I don’t think the boys have ever seen a real frog before, only [...]
How Old Am I?
It seems like children are the only way that I can judge time sometimes. When I realize that the boys are a year and a half old. That Avery is 4 and a half. That my younger brother is turning 30 this year. That he has a teenage daughter. I [...]
