My sweet little guy turned 3 a couple of weeks ago. We had a small family party and David had a big time. David escaped the “terrible twos” with not very much terrible.  He gets upset now and then- throws his hands up and cries things like “Now I’ll never get to play anything ever again!!!!” and wails, but it never lasts long....

We’ve lived in Texas 3 years now, and this is the first time we’ve taken pictures of the boys in a bluebonnet field. The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas, and getting your kids out in a field at some point in the Spring is sort of obligatory around here. ...

It’s been so pathetically long since I posted here. I hate to let it go too long because this is sort of an archive that I think it will be fun for the boys to look back at when they’re older.

He’s done well with it and has only fallen out a couple of...

We enjoyed a much anticipated visit with Mommaw, Aunt Neva, Aunt Laura, Emily & Benjamin in early September. Jack and Emily had a great time playing, telling nonsense jokes to each other and laughing hysterically, playing hide & seek and driving their cars around the patio. Jack is doing gymnastics again, this time as part of our homeschool group, and he...
