Wyatt has been interested in the Pirates all summer and he wears his Pirates baseball hat constantly. I often find that hat in bed with him at night.

I will start out with the drama for those of you looking for an update on Scott. Scott was in a car accident last weekend and has a concussion.

When friends of ours invited us out on their boat last weekend, I said yes immediately.  A weekend afternoon relaxing on the river sounded like a great idea.  Then I started to think about the potential issues – what if the boys hate/are scared of the boat? what if they freak out over the life . . . → Read More: We’re on a Boat

I love Juliana’s summer childcare program. It is at the same school she attends during the year so she is around familiar teachers and kids. But the best part is how much they play outside which is what summer should be all about for children. They have creative time to draw and color and . . . → Read More: Random Happenings

Little Men

Clothes for baby girls are the cutest…I still find myself looking at the new baby girl clothes when I am shopping for the boys.

Happy Independence Day

Yesterday we went to Aunt Natalae’s Annual 3rd of July party. It is a huge party complete with a live band and fireworks. I think that this was my 7th year of the party.
