To say I’ve let this site go is an understatement! I haven’t updated it since August 2008.
In the days and weeks to come, I’ll be making some changes to the page and then working on updating posts until I reach present day. If you subscribe, this means you’ll likely be getting multiple updates from this page for awhile. Once I reach the present date, that will slow down to no more than one a day again.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Sometimes I can get away with watching him and he doesn’t notice.
But he often catches me. I’m okay with that.
He looks at the world with wonder.
And then I make it change colors just for him.
So he can keep doing that.
There are still endless things I can show him that he’s never thought of before.
And he has so many of these for me, which is fabulous, since they keep me going.
Some days, the routine feels mundane. But I know I’ll miss it so much as it starts to change and slide out of my fingers one day.

That’s what he says.
I want to argue, but no, he is right.
John will be gone on his actual birthday (October 16th) so an early gift lets him in on the fun.
Braden is lactose intolerant, and hasn’t been able to eat any real cheese since I discovered that.
And you know, kids should get Mac ‘N Cheese.
