“We thought we had lost him”

It all happened a week ago today. I don’t think Meg or I have ever had moments as terrifying as the ones we experienced last week. I don’t know how more bluntly I could put it other than, we thought our little man had left us. For me, it was Friday night and I hadContinue reading ““We thought we had lost him””

Take a look, it’s in a book

We all want to know what’s going on inside the minds of our little ones, I’m sure. Lately, though, I have been especially curious when it comes to the look on our little guy’s face as he flips through books.

For the love of Mo!

Storytime has pretty much become ritual in our house. Aside from dinnertime and bath time, it’s the other consistent that’s needed for a complete wrap-up of our day.

One of the things I find myself constantlyContinue reading “Versatile Blogger Award”

Ales of the Revolution

Some may choose to celebrate the Fourth of July with hot dogs and hamburgers, but as I write this, I have just sampled a taste of the American Revolution. For quite a few years, I had been on the hunt for a beer called “Ales of the Revolution” from Yards Brewing Company in Pennsylvania. IContinue reading “Ales of the Revolution”

Break in, Beat down

As I walked out of our house with the baby’s bag, ready to load the car like any other day, I came across something out of the ordinary. My driver side and passenger side door were open. “That’s odd,” I thought, as I loaded the baby’s bags in the backseat. That’s when something hit meContinue reading “Break in, Beat down”
