Simple sadness
For the last four years, we’ve had it really good. Really good. We’ve had a job that has been incredibly fulfilling, although exhausting. We have two awesome kids, although exhausting. But there’s been a very fortunate family connection. My brother-in-law lives less than two hours away from us. He has been a really important part…

Here you go… My girl with her first baseball from Busch Stadium. It was hot, I got a sunburn. But she didn’t seem to mind.

That’s right folks. Mark today down in the books. She walked many times at school today! Not just a few – 5 steps two times and 6 steps another time. They stopped counting the many two-step moments in the day. At home, she even walked a couple of steps here and there. My girl can…
Read More +Baby steps
Yesterday afternoon something little but very exciting happened. I was picking the kids up and Jordan REALLY wanted to drink water from the water fountain. So I dropped her down onto the floor and she took two baby steps before she plopped down on her butt and scooted the rest of the way. 2 BABY…
