Last time someone fell asleep in the bike trailer, Corban was complaining that Jaeda's hair was touching him. This time, her hair was still touching him (just can't tame it!), but he was the one asleep! Silly preschooler who thinks he doesn't need a nap every day...
The week before Mothers' Day, our city offered a "Mommy Son Adventure" (from which the word adventure has entered Corban's near daily vocabulary: "Let's go on an adventure, Mom!"). It had a dinosaur theme and included 8 or so different stations from matching to puzzles to races to...
We found something unexpected in our backyard today.
By their height, I'm guessing they've been there a while.
But somehow I'd never noticed them.

1. Projects: Plenty of spaces to organize and arrange
We have more space than we need in this blessing of a house, so we're trying to figure out how best to live in it. Now that we've lived a whole year in it, it's coming more...
Lots of towns are doing "First Fridays" these days. Ours is no exception.
It's actually more fun than ya'd think--vendors, in-town business specials, events

I love to play, don't get me wrong, but boy,...
