Last November, we were living in NC for about a month and a half as Richard worked on his helicopter license. I started attending a MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) group while we were there.

What do you do with a two-year-old when it\’s storming outside? Why, you curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch \”Finding Nemo\”, that\’s what!

That Was Kinda Nice
The other day, I was reading this really great (random) book that I found called How Do You Tuck In a Superhero?

A year ago right now, I had been in labor for 7 hours with another 7 hours to go… but it was totally worth it! 🙂 Today our little guy celebrates his first birthday and we are SO thankful for all of the laughs, tears, lessons learned, adventures, and joys that he has brought us.Continue reading “Happy Birthday Little Nugget!”
Thankful Thursday: Laughter
Yesterday was a pretty obnoxious day. My computer has been down for two days at work and that means I\’m stuck scanning literally dozens of folders….. uuuggghhhhh. Boring.
