One of my favorite things about technology is how are cell phones have become one of the best ways to capture the little moments of life. I love taking pictures with my cell phone and also find that to be the quickest (and sometimes easiest!) way to catch my boys doing things “in the moment.” I also think it’s pretty… View Post
Adventure.
If I could use one word to describe the last 18 months of our life, I would define it as “adventure.” Each day brings new challenges and joy, but mainly, it’s adventurous.

My little fellows make me laugh on a daily basis. While they may drive me crazy some days, the amount of sweetness they exude can also make the negatives dissipate quickly. Here are a few quick quips about their adorableness: Charlie played his first carnival game by “fishing” and one his very own red dog. He was so proud and… View Post
