Between Oliver’s growth spurt and clingy-ness (literally I have 45 seconds to take a shower in the morning before all hell breaks loose when Oliver realizes that mommy is no longer in the room and daddy is holding him) my workspace today is the side table. I’m going to attempt to get some words written in “the book” today as… Read More
I have what you call a very black thumb. I seriously can’t keep anything alive (and apparently, in the case of my tomato plants, if I can keep it alive, it doesn’t produce any fruit).

Oliver didn’t start out as Oliver. In fact, Oliver wasn’t anywhere on our list. We had 3 others (two family names and a (shocking) non-family name), but we really couldn’t decide which name we liked best. So, doing what anyone would do, we just decided to wait. Fast forward to November and the Florida trip. On the way home, discussing… Read More
