My Boy

04/14/2010

I was at Barnes and Noble with Caleb talking to the Nook sales associate. She looked at Caleb and said, “Oh my goodness! Look at your long, thick eyelashes! You are going to be so pretty when you grow up!” Caleb furrowed his brow and said, “No! I AM A BOY!” Hilarious.

Outward Signs of Life Trials (Miscarriage & Infertility)

I have been specifically considering families that have dealt with miscarriage or infertility. The only outward sign of this life trial is that the couple has no children, Read More

Jack and the La La La Song

02/24/2010

Jack has learned to stick out his tongue when I ask him to and loves listening to the La La La Song. He’s 2 1/2 months old here. And, I think, very very sweet. (February 24, 2010)
