Today I mentioned that I should blog about something that happened in our family. YaYa rolled her eyes and looked at me across the supper table and said, “You know, your blog isn’t always the whole truth.  It’s not the whole story.  For example, you always write and make me…

On Saturday Mr. Trouble on Feet was invited to a birthday party for his good friend Olivia, who is turning four this week.  He had a wonderful time playing at her house with friends, and best of all, he even got to try out using chopsticks at lunch.  Olivia’s parents…

The big kids and Dr. Peds were at the movie theater with some of our friends.  The weather was beautiful, so I suggested to my little guy that we take a walk to the cemetery to visit the ducks and geese.  We happened to have a lot of stale and…

OK, so I may have had to pay him a dollar to cooperate for a few pictures that didn’t include a crazy face or sticking out his tongue.  I think it was worth it. This morning the kidlets are back in school after a week of being home for spring…
