I’m not quite sure how many people may be reading our little online family journal, or what it means to those who read it. For me, it is a place to share little tidbits and snapshots from our daily life. A place to share a favorite recipe, or cool craft ideas. A place to direct...
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before…but I am a contributing writer for a very cool local blog called “Family Friendly Cincinnati”. It’s a fabulous resource for families in our area.

Prince Henry is two months old today. It was a struggle to find a good time today to get his 2 month pictures (thanks again Micaela and Zach for the collection of cute shirts!). He’s very congested right now, and had shots in his legs which made him miserable today. Otherwise he is a happy...
