Some days there is just so much going on at our house and it seems like it’s a hassle to get it all done. (Well, maybe I should say EVERY day!) After the whole work/school thing ends, there come the tasks of making dinner, cleaning up, feeding the pets, walking […]

I joined a Flickr group dedicated to parents taking photos of themselves with their kids. Weekly. Ay-yi-yi! Me and my projects. We’ll see how cooperative the Devster is for this one. The last one didn’t involve a particular subject. I think this will be fun and also grace us with […]

Yes, that is a smile. It’s the one you get when you ask Devin to smile for the camera. We’ve dubbed it “scrunchy face” and he’s quite a talent in that department.

It’s actually my mocha, but he’s setting down his milk behind it Every morning Devin wakes up and asks, “Are we going to Wanda’s house today?” Sometimes it’s the first thing to come out of his mouth. And, yeah, four days a week he goes to daycare. (A center, not […]
