This morning we went to get an ultrasound of our upcoming child. We had a friend come over and watch the kids and she made them pancakes for breakfast (our appointment was downtown at 8:30 in the morning). We asked the older kids if they wanted to go, but they wanted to stay and have…
Last night we took inventory of what we have in the house for presents. We came up short. Most of our Christmas shopping was done online, and as boxes arrived I would put them in the garage. This worked out well enough because I could easily stack boxes and everything was out of the way…
