• Our first parent/teacher conference.

    MOM: This is for you since I know you’re going to ask! Kinda funny that David & I, who were perhaps the subject of my parent’s parent/teacher conferences in high school, attended our first parent/teacher conference for Nathan. Talk about feeling like real grown-ups! The guy I used to pass…

  • Will: Six Months

    Dear William, You’re six months old and you think you’re the King of this house. Well, okay maybe you kinda are – does sharing the throne with your brother count? You know exactly when and how to flash that dimply smile at me and open up your baby browns and…

  • Natespeak: questions, questions.

  • Foamie Fun!

    Nathan and finally put together our foam haunted house that we’d bought the kit for last week. Will was kind enough to sleep during the entire time we did the project so that we could finish. Nathan does this funny little thing when he’s spreading glue back and forth. He’ll…
