The karate studio had a group picture made for the community section of our local paper. While the photographer took his shots, I was wrestling Amy and carelessly snapping shots and Doug was chasing Evan. I looked at the pictures when I got home and realized Noah was making bunny ears and goofy faces in […]
One more night like last night and I may eat my children. One more request from Doug and I may inflict pain that he won’t enjoy. Perv.
You came into this world 16 years ago at St.Mary’s Hospital in Knoxville, TN. When the tiny nun visited my room a few hours later to advise me that “children need brothers and sisters,” I wanted to punch her in the face. Sorry about that Sister Reproduction Cheerleader.

Although she’s moody, Sarah makes me happy.
Tommy placed first in all three of his events at the horse show! This was his first time without any helper standing nearby and he was AWESOME! All of his current and former trainers came by to tell us how great he looked. This is the boy who was never supposed to read, who we […]
