It seems sometimes that the time I think I have for a task never materializes. We’re planning a move and I need to pack. I haven’t packed household goods in 11 years. The military moves us when we move. Well, we’re planning on moving into my parents’ house for a few months while our house…

Last night as I’m cooking dinner, Honey comes up to me and says one sentence. After repeated attemps to figure out what she was saying (I thought she was saying, "I want a baby bottle."), this is what transpired: Honey: I want a baby brother. Me: Oh, you want a baby brother? Honey: Yes. Me: …

This is what happens when grandma leaves the key in the treadmill when her grandchildren visit. This is what happens when you climb on the treadmill at grandma’s house and put it on at full speed. This is what happens when you stop running as soon as the key is pulled out, but the treadmill…

Pumpkin today said, "Mama." My heart just melted.
