As you might have guessed from this post, Tucker’s getting fixed. Am I the only one whose brain instantly goes to a dog being neutered?  Wonder if Tucker’s going to have to wear one of those cones around his neck? I know he has to wear “scrotal support”. When I read that I think of [...]

Nap times and bedtime have never been easy things around our house. Whether Cara just lacks a need for a reasonable amount of sleep or if she’s just determined to not sleep, the end result is the same: she’s awake. A schedule helps and lots of warning about the impending time in her bed helps [...]

I seriously doubt that they could have picked a better guy to put on the cover of this pamplet.

Growing up in the South seems to lend itself perfectly to almost a clairvoyant knowledge of just the right way to make the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. Candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with lots of butter and milk, yeast rolls, cornbread dressing with plenty of sage and green bean casserole are all staples of any self-respecting [...]

Cara’s two year old doctor’s appointment is tomorrow and I wasn’t too sure if she was going to have to get any shots. She screams like a banshee every time we go to the pediatrician’s office even though she’s never had a bad experience there. Whatever.  She’s just weird. Anyway, I don’t like being surprised [...]

Two

At 7:59 this morning, Cara officially turned two. Oliver wasn’t impressed. My dad actually showed up and came bearing a tricycle.  Not the tricycle that I wrote about previously [and that he knew about] but whatever.  It just annoys me that he knew the specific tricycle that we were going to get her and he [...]
