Our family portrait
In September we had a number of family portraits done. This one was obviously just the three of us, but as my brother, folks and grandma where there we also got many other variations. The best photo is the one of the four generations. Just fantastic. For those of you in the Ohio area we…

The well has run dry
Unfortunately, breast feeding just isn’t going well. Luke hasn’t been gaining weight fast enough and some weeks he even lost weight.

I’m sure to win parent of the year
So today I locked Luther in the car; and I don’t mean for his protection. I mean, I’m outside of the locked car staring at my baby and my keys. The long and the short of it is that I dropped the keys while closing the rear door and it locked. Needless to say I…
