Yesterday someone gave me newborn diapers. And of course the overwhelming feeling should be, gee thanks that was nice. Instead I find myself in a state of disbelief. I’m going to have a newborn?!?! Seems a little dense on my part, after all I’m as big as a house and suffering from almost every unattractive symptom in the book! Anyone […]

Drew brings competition to an extreme level. He is so athletically minded that it’s really no surprise but it’s getting out of control.

First time they rolled over, first time they crawled, first time they walked, etc. And when parents get together it’s easy to get caught up in what your child has or has not done. Every parent knows of some instance they have been in where […]

He did it! My amazing husband, the best father in the world, the man who at one point couldn’t run a mile let alone nine of them, did what some would say was the impossible! He finished the Hot Chocolate 15k in record time!! And although we took this opportunity to really do something for Dad, make a weekend out […]
