A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
.jpg) “I just don’t want to go to school.” Meadow and I were pulling out of the parking lot after dropping Charlie and Chanelle off at school. It was a strange comment coming from my fairly independent 3-year old who has been talking about school next fall with far more excitement and enthusiasm than I have. […]    .jpg) Growing up they lived just over a mile from us. We called them Mama and Big. We still call them Mama and Big. Grandparents of the best kind. . . grandparents who knew us. Much like our kids have now, our grandparents were a part of our everyday life–family that extended beyond the walls of […]  I am the middle child of three kids. (Big sigh for the forgotten middle children.) My sister is four years younger than I am and my brother is two years older–identical to the age gap of Charlie, Chanelle, and Meadow. My brother, sister and I had what I would call a “typical” sibling relationship. You […] .jpg) One of the first posts ever written in this blog was about him.

It is where he flourishes.
These kids!!
Oh, I get that. Chad and I are introverts, too, and having kids certainly pushes those limits, doesn't it, Jenn? Sigh. . .
How fun it will be to see Henry grow and (no doubt) flourish at school.
Yes, I agree . . . these kids. . .;)
