Journaling: We headed to the playground as often as possible during a few warm days in January. For the first time you were able to walk around and explore under your own power, and you loved it! We played peekaboo on the playground equipment, watched Jason playing with sticks, and dug in...

For the Sweet Inspiration Challenge at SSD. I come from a long line of amazing mothers, who have worked hard and been through some really tough times. They have left me an important legacy that I hope I can continue. All that was is part of me As I am part of what's to be And thus it is...

Journaling: It's so much fun to watch you play, Ben. You crawl over to the cabinet, and anything you can get your hands on is explored and played with. If you've seen Jason using it, so much the better. You may not understand why the stethescope or ID badge belong around your neck, but you know...

Journaling: The day I volunteered at the [preschool] consignment sale, I came home and found both of you wearing the standard issue Daddy weekend outfit: jeans, t-shirt, and unbuttoned button-up shirt. You were adorable Mini-Daddies, and Jason keeps asking when you can do it again! Credits...

Journaling: The 3 of us met my friend Erika at a dairy farm in Maryland for their fall festival. We made butter by shaking vials of cream, drove tractors, operated grain grinders, watched the milking, visited calves, and climbed on a hay playground. You both loved it! Credits...

Journaling: I admit it, it may be my fault. I didn't omit Disney-studies from your education on purpose, but somehow it happened and now what you know about kings and princes would fit on the head of a pin. So when you made a jeweled crown at school, you went around proclaiming yourself King...

Journaling: Daddy only made it to the pool with us once this summer. Mommy cant take both of you to the big pool alone, so it was our first time out of the kiddie pool. Ben loved it, whether in his boat or in our arms. Jason was impressed by the divers, so Daddy dove in for the first time in...

Journaling: Aah, glitter-covered hands. Last year this was a familiar sight. Thanks to your preschool art projects, there was glitter all over the car, your school bag, and often you. This year your class does more science and cooking than art, and when you visit the art room you prefer the...
