History repeats itself…

As a Grandpa, there is no number or word big or beautiful enough to describe his love. BUT (isn’t there always a BUT when it comes to kids?)… there seems always to be that ONE time that [...]

This post speaks to many. And it speaks to me in a way that is almost impossible to explain. It moves me. I think [...]

The Man Cold

Kristina over at BabyCenter’s MOMformation wrote about how her husband is a big baby when he gets sick. Kristina, you are so not alone. It is part of the male DNA, I have come to realize.
