Well, if pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins (and I’m pretty sure it is) Maria and I are six feet under. Maria’s grin couldn’t have been bigger yesterday when I picked her up from preschool. Proudly, she thrust out her chest and across it were three stickers: “I know my birthday!” “I can [...]

If you could see my computer, this is what you’d see (I have it as my desktop background): I have to say, it’s my favorite Halloween picture. (And yes, I’m still feeling sentimental about his walking running.)

Sam’s new talent? Sticking out his tongue. I mean, he could do it before and he loves to make raspberries. (Although it isn’t really raspberries at this age. I’d say it’s, well, spitting.) Anyway, it seems he’s just discovered that he can stick it out and keep it out. So, for your enjoyment, I’ve posted [...]
