I'm not sure I'd ever have what it takes to be a photographer. Oh sure, many people comment on the pictures I take with my phone and post on Facebook, but they are far from professional. There is a local photographer close by that has never disappointed us with her photos. She took Ella's First … Continue reading Pictures Perfect

Under the Knife
Andrew had his surgery today. You may remember his sleep study showed severe sleep apnea. A diagnosis of laryngomalacia was given and today the surgery was to correct that.

Time Well Spent
Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent
Outdoor “Nutty” Discovery
I posted this on my Facebook page earlier, but wanted to be sure it made the blog. I took Ella and Andrew out for a walk this morning.
