Isn't Daddy Great?

For me, this is one of the cool things about having children: my kids are small, new-ish people… who think my husband is all kinds of awesome. Just like I do.
The gifts of family life keep on giving. I love that my husband comes home each evening and is fascinated by all my stories about things the kids did that day. Even the most well-meaning grandparent can’t sustain that kind of enthusiasm forever... READ MORE

As of Monday I was six weeks pregnant. It’ll be months until we find out the sex of our baby but I’ve already predicted the sex: girl.

The couple at the next table over had their baby with them, and he was very cute. I admired him from a distance. But as Bryan and I enjoyed drinks and chatted over the bread basket, not even a little part of me wished we had our own baby with us. He would’ve been squirming in... READ MORE
