Gone again, gone again joggery jog

We are going out of town again. Can you believe it? I can’t. I feel like we have been away so much and just doing doing doing. And here we are, heading out for a week at the shore with my in-laws. I’m not complaining. I mean, who would complain about a week at the [...]

A wedding with some Martha Stewart

We’re back. We survived. When I returned from the wedding no one was crying. One was awake though. Apparently Robby had gone to bed fairly well, but then woke up a few hours later and when I wasn’t there he woke up completely, as though it was a new day or he’d just had a [...]
