Full Custody

My children are home! My children are home! For now!
Because they are going to Nana’s tonight. And tomorrow. And Mike’s the next day.

His school does this awesome thing where they set up all the different instruments in the common area during an informational meeting close to the beginning of the school year. Kids walk around blowing their germs into various mouthpieces, then decide if they really […]

Shockingly, I didn’t pass out

My dad, notoriously in love with things that transport people, is currently into planes. And has friends that are into planes. Who fly planes. Who wanted to take my son on a plane. Their plane. Their tiny, itty bitty plane.

I have a camera

I finally uploaded the bazillion pictures from it today. So, here’s a rundown of my life in the time of this camera.
We adopted another baby, Toby.

He may be trying to tell me something

On Wednesday nights, I teach a late class. Mike picks up the boys from my house and just keeps them overnight and brings them home in the mornings for school.
