Since P's "word of the week" last week was DUCK, we decided to take him to the park and let him feed the ducks. He thought it was sooo funny! I would throw a piece of bread out there and the second the duck would snatch it up...he would bust out laughing. It was adorable!

Ahem…WHAT?

OUR BUYER'S COULD NOT GET FINANCING!!! And NO, I am not joking you. And YES, it took them 11 days to tell us. And YES, this is the SECOND time this has happened to us in 3 weeks. Really, TWO different buyers...both put offers on our house and BOTH buyers couldn't get approved for a

This is Parker's version of the alphabet. Not bad for 21 months?? We can usually get to the letter "P", but as you can see from the video...his attention span sometimes ends at "I". After "H" (if you listen closely)...he says "big bus". The kid loves big buses. And it never fails, every time we

I think for P Man....it is quite obvious what helps him sleep.... THE INFAMOUS C.G. Do any of you have problems trying to get your toddler to sleep? Well, maybe your child is perfect and goes down with no fight...but not my P. It took me months and months to get him into a bedtime routine that
