Those days. You know the ones. You’re out of creamer, you oversleep and everyone coordinates the day to get out of bed on the wrong side. They then proceed to bicker and argue and antagonize each other (and the dog) until the moment they walk out the door to go to school. Yep, that’s me. Right…

Even when I was really young, bath time was fun. My mom and I would “write” with soap on each other’s backs and the person being written on would have to guess the letter or word. Not only was it great for learning ABC’s, it was also good bonding time and created an early love of water…

Now that the house is getting somewhat assembled, we decided to get out and do something. We went to San Antonio to check out this: We got to see all sorts of creatures – and they came right up to our car door! Hannah said “OOOH OOH OOOH! Mom look!!!” about 5000 times. Jacob laughed at…
