8 weeks to go until we meet baby boy Bx! He’s been very active this past month and has taken to kicking me in the ribs with gusto. Right before Christmas I passed my glucose test (whew!) and was able to travel without that extra worry. They increased my iron intake slightly, but I haven’t really noticed much difference other than it… Read more →

She was super-sweet…and I realized… Read more →

This morning I got proof that our new-improved leaf screen with supporting legs actually works! I don’t know about leaves, but it definitely keeps cats out of the pond. Jason and I both wish it had… Read more →
