   P is becoming my little man. No longer my little boy. I know that people tell me frequently that "time flies", but seriously... TIME FLIES. P starts Pre-K4 today. He's super excited about being in class with a couple of his friends from church. Another thing he will be starting soon....SOCCER! I

  Getting beat up by a 1.5 year old is not cool. But very common at our house. Bents can be a monster. I like to call him "happy mean". You know. Happy. But mean. Although it may look like he is trying to resuscitate his brother in this picture, I can promise you he is not trying to give P

Not just any girl. One girl in particular. Unfortunately she lives a few hours a way (I may appreciate that in about 10 years). When I told P she was coming to visit soon, he insisted on sending her a video message. I'm hoping her dad doesn't cancel the trip after he watches this. Let's just

I finally attempted some of my own pictures of baby SJ. I gave him the "please do not look like a deer in headlights" chat prior to the photo shoot, but you know how 10 week olds can be, non-compliant. SO, because he has a mind of his own (stubborn KID)  is too young to follow my orders, you can

  Our little P Man turned FOUR on July 22! I vowed that I was going to keep his party MUCH smaller this year. As much as I loved having everyone over last year, SEVENTY-THREE people was just a little too much. P actually got so overwhelmed that he didn't even participate in his own
