I just want to eat him (Austin) up. I’ve said this about all three of our children, and I happen to think it’s perfectly normal. Sam has laughed at me all three times that I’ve felt this way, but I know I’m not the only crazy mom that feels this […]

This past Friday, I emailed Sam and mentioned that we should pick one new adventure each weekend to which his response was “Let’s go to the beach!” All things considered right now in our life, I was thinking something along the lines of a new museum or a spray park, […]

This was taken around 4:00 p.m. the following day! Our first picture as a family of 5. I’ll never forget that moment when all of us were together for the first time. I’ll post more about Austin’s bday soon (when I can muster up the energy!!)
