Chances are you missed this post a while back about “how we do it” with regards to the children’s schedule. Things have changed in the three years since then, and “how we do it” has changed as well. Not only do we have another child, the other kids are older and their needs and activities…
The post idea I had for today sounded good in my head, then as I began typing it out it sounded more and more dumb. I couldn’t drag it out to a full post and there wasn’t any interesting angle to spin. Essentially it was about going to the store to get my daughter some…

Tevye, you turn 6 months old today. Where did the time go? Well, I sort of know where it went. It’s been a crazy busy six months. First the packing up and moving because of the remodel in our house, then the end of the school year, then vacation to Massachusetts, then the beginning of…
