Here it is: here is the video of Eli and Gracie making out last night. The two were obviously very enthusiastic about their affection for ea...

Eli loves Gracie. Gracie loves Eli. For as long as they've been on this side of the womb, that is the way it's gone. Just like Harol...

Eli ran his first official road race this morning! OK, so he only ran 700 yards (actually more like 700 feet), but he had a number, there wa...

Poor Maddux. With Lehr and I in charge of her safety, she has a tough road ahead of her. The bad news is: she's already been dragged alo...

That is my end goal for Maddie's room. Right now it is a field of grass with a section of flowers. While Grandma Cathie visited, I snuck...

What a day! Eli had school this morning, and I had a photo shoot, so Maddie spent most of the AM hours with Grandma Cathie. The four of us p...

Several weeks back, when Eli found out Grandma Cathie was coming to visit, he informed me, "I gonna take her on date." We thought ...

This whole weekend turned out to be quite Fall/Halloween themed! After our great fall walk yesterday, we continued with the autumn festiviti...

Eli and I had a date tonight. Schedules have taken over and we've been so busy recently that dates have not been happening as often as t...

This morning we took the kids for a fall walk to see the horses. The last time I did this , Maddie was not such a fan. She got a little spoo...

No plans today. These days are very rare. If nothing else, I usually have a walk or a trip to the park planned. But it was cool and very win...

I am pretty under-the-weather tonight. I'm not sure if it is food poisoning or a cold or both, but it is not fun. Lehr was so awesome to...
