So as you get older do you realize that you get upset about all of the same things as you did when you were 3?  It’s true.  You want your stuff to remain yours, for no one to mess with your space, for people that you like to like you back.  I’m now adding one [...]

I don’t understand why I am surprised, but Mary has already taken her first steps.  One day shy of being 9 months old and this beautiful child is cruising around.  Scary.  I couldn’t wait for Christian to reach these milestones, but I wish Mary would slow down.  This time has gone too fast.  I so [...]
