Corban

Walk down the stairs To throw in another load Splash! go the slippers What do my eyes behold?! Another inch of water When we thought our work was done Tears drop in the puddle As I stand a minute, stunned Race up the stairs To grab a pair of boots Call James home For cleanup in his...

So there's this condition called nesting, and I've got it. The baby's dresser is fully organized (as is the entire room!); pictures have been placed around the main floor (okay, so that's something that should have been done a long time ago, but apparently I just...

On January 1, James declared that plunger-ing our toilet once and twice a day would not be welcome in the new year. So with YouTube in front of him and an elated wife behind, we marched off to Lowe's with confidence and determination. James has really upped...

When Corban and Jaeda choose to love each other, they oooooze it on, making sure I hear every second of it. On this day, Corban insisted that Jaeda wear only the finest of clothes--his. So she sported a large I am a big brother shirt for this babysitting day....

Corban has apparently found out that being four means playing with Legos, not Duplos. I really thought we had another year, but once we did the Lego Scavenger Hunt at the library, he could barely bring himself to look at his Duplos. Okay, I totally exaggerate; he still played with...

I like to claim at least a half part contribution to the adorableness of these children. Especially to all the folks who see just me and the kids out in public and wonder incredulously where they got their red hair. I mean, come on! But for...
