Kai was in a silly mood today and had a really hard time nursing because he would giggle every time he caught my eye. Or every time he didn’t. He just couldn’t be serious long enough to get full. So he would start. stop. start. stop. I didn’t realize Anna was watching the process until [...]

I found yet another game that the kids and I have been playing like crazy the past few days. It is another Cranium game, because when I see a Cranium game that we don’t have and it is 50% off…it will be in my cart even if it means I have to take the milk [...]

Kai had his six month checkup today. I cannot believe we are halfway through his first year. He is growing right as he should be. He is about average in his weight and he is on the tall side. His head size proves how big his brain is and what a smart little guy he [...]

I have been quite flaky lately with my posts. It is a combination of too much to do and just feeling boring. Not that we have been bored. I just don’t know that what we have been doing makes for an interesting enough post. We have been working in the yard bit by bit this [...]

Lincoln’s world became a brighter place the day he found out he was going to have a brother. Do you think that maybe Kai likes all the attention just a little? Looking for a ticklish spot… Lincoln called in some help for the big tickle… Yep! That’s the spot!
