Knowing that each of our kids are special, unique and individuals, we try to set aside time for one on one with Mommy and Daddy for each of them. Right after Lucy was born, we got to take Caedmon to see Cars 2 at the movie theater [ Read More ]

I’m not sure we’ll be able to participate in it this year, since Baby Lucy is due at that time, but I still love the tradition and learning about it all. The text of the [ Read More ]
