When Colton started pre-k back in August, I’ll admit I was worried. I’m pretty sure I cried every day those first few days. He would come home with some note about how he didn’t want to do the paper, or cried when the teacher tried […]
Kid #5, AKA Dustin, lost his first tooth this weekend. Losing teeth is such a gross thing, and yet it’s such a celebrated thing. Dustin has been wanting to lose a tooth for ever! I think watching his older siblings lose theirs, he wanted in […]
Last night, we went to the Houston Zoo, compliments of Chuck’s work. We had a fantastic time despite it being too dark to see any animal beside the elephants that gave us a nice show of them using the restroom. Yuck! The company fed all […]
