Kids can be demanding, especially when you have something else that needs to get done. Our kids tend to be underfoot while we’re trying to get ready for work. It’s good thing we have a big master bathroom, because usually all four of us are in there together on weekday mornings. Most of time though, [...]
It’s funny how growing up changes how you look at weekends. In high school and college, it was always imperative to have something to do on the weekends. Now that we’ve got kids, my idea of a perfect weekend is one where absolutely nothing eventful happens. Weekends where we can all just kind of hang [...]

And now ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally time to tell the tale of just what exactly went down in that middle chunk of September. After all the delays and anticipation, I’m sure this post will disappoint just about everybody. So there was this hurricane. It was big. And even though we live two hours from [...]
