Catch Phrases
Kids generally pay close attention to what you say, and my kids are no exception. Luke copies Zach and Ben copies Luke. It’s downright scary when the boys sound just like me (mini-dicator), and simply hilarious when they repeat Zachary. … Continue reading
The Doctor is In
In recent years, like most families with young kids, we have had a disproportionate amount of doctor visits. Mostly sick and well visits to our pediatrician and my OB/GYN, but you can throw in things like urgent care, ER and overnight … Continue reading

I Need a Kiss
It’s hard to be angry with a request like that. Nevertheless, I am pretty good at overcoming the cuteness and mustering up annoyance in the dead of the night. Luke has gotten much better about staying in bed at night. He … Continue reading
Giving Ben a Drill
Oh, to be two years old, and have a little brother named “Ben”! What grammatical trials we have encountered! Drippy noses to be resolved by giving the baby a power drill! Life must be so confusing when you cannot spell.
