Double
Photography 101. I had to go with an older photo of our, now 4-year-old, twins. There's no double that I love more than this double. The twins at one month old. Continue Reading...
Deer Driveway
While looking at a deer that was grazing alongside our driveway this morning, Jacqueline asked me how old I thought the deer was. I said, "Oh it's probably two years old." She yelped loudly, "TWO YEARS OLD!?!? I've never heard of that before!" Continue Reading...
Today’s Cure: Healthy Imagination
After a relatively sleepless night dealing with coughs, colds, fevers, and a case of croup, the twins and I are settled in for the day. We received 3 or 4 inches of wet snow overnight. It'll likely disappear by the end of the day, but there's still several inches of frozen snow in the yard under the fresh stuff. We decided to keep the twins home from pre-pre school this morning.

Potholes and Puddles
Once in a while, quite often actually, I think it's good to just let kids be kids, regardless of my personal feelings on cleanliness, order, and things along those lines. Yes, we have a huge pothole in our driveway. Yes, the kids have assisted in its growth more than any other natural factor. Yes, Theodore does have his boots on the wrong feet, but it didn't slow him or his imagination down at Continue Reading...
