Sit! Stay! We'll Be Back in a Few Hours!

October 24, 2008

When Kyle was a baby and even up until his little brother was born, it wasn't very hard to find someone to watch him so that Stewart and I could go out for a few hours. But after we had Brady, I didn't often want to ask our friends to watch TWO kids, especially since the older one had moved firmly into his, how shall I say, precocious years.

The Things They Draw Come True: Cool Picks For Father's Day

June 10, 2008

One of my husband's favorite activities to do with our children is drawing outside with sidewalk chalk. We live in a typical Valley ranch house with a sidewalk in the backyard and a cinder block wall. LOTS of surface area to decorate.
