Now What

We are headed back to Chicago tonight, a fate only worse than being cleaned for the baby, I am sure.  Good bye fishing docks, sunny beaches, doting grandparents, hello cold cruel world.  On some level I’m looking forward to winter again (masochist?), but I don’t know how we will make it though 3 more months [...]

She Found The Dirt Inside

a lonely toy stroller

I spent the majority of last week, home with a cold, convincing Skylar we HAD to get this toy stroller for Harper, because she was bored stiff with pulling up on the furniture.  He finally caved, and it is so nice to come home and see this itty bitty girly toy in the living room.
Meanwhile, [...]
