Our street is (or was, as of today seeing as how we moved out today in preparation for the big move) a cul-de-sac and we have the good fortune of living on the very end. In an effort to inspire confidence and competence, I started allowing Maggie to ride her scooter all the way around […]

Jason has four day off of work, mainly to get a bunch of stuff done around the house.  So far, we have all taken lazy afternoon naps and meandered though the case lot sale at our grocery store. I think we are in desperate need for help from the productivity gods if we are to […]
