After only 2 months….2 LONG months…..of Winter, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing that snow is good for. Sledding. Around our house, at least. You know it’s been a long Winter when even the kids are tired of snow. Apparently everyone but AJ is sick of doing this, too:…

A Year Away From Double Digits
Twizzler just celebrated his birthday on Saturday. How is it possible that my baby boy is 9 years old? At my house, the kids make a big deal about “double digits,” and the fact that Twizzler will be 10 on his next birthday is a huge occasion to celebrate. Yes, he’s more excited about being…
