Grandma Lewis gave the kids a ziplock bag that was full of a variety of little balls. Some were rubber bouncy balls, some were covered in suction cups for climbing down walls, some were soft pompons. For a time, Jack was absolutely obsessed with this bag of balls. He’d carry it around along with a Read More

Tomorrow (August 12th), Josh and I will celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary. How cool is that? Some friends have asked if we’re experiencing the “seven year itch,” and I’d have to say no unless you count those that come with pregnancy and stretch marks. It’s cool to be married for seven years and still really Read More
Conversation between me and Josh: Steph: I’m so tired! I wish I could sleep for nine years! Josh: But then you would have missed the first nine years of our son’s life. And, who knows, we might’ve had more kids by then. !?!
