We ended up taking the whole herd to our prenatal appointment today. Four kids and us sqeezed into a small exam room with clanky toys. You could have run the whole office on the energy output of the room. It was crazy. But we got to hear Squirrely's heartbeat so that made up for it. The kids left, except for Aric, to hang out with me and watch me get some blood drawn for some routine tests. Then we went downstairs and scheduled our big ultrasound! Next Wednesday at 3pm we'll get to see the bebe…

The warm intense snuggling in the cold hours of the morning.
The smile I catch him giving me out of the corner of my eye.
The way he makes me hug him, even when I'm mad at him.
The way he admits he is wrong, miscommunicated, or is just....sorry.
The fact that he could be a jeans model with that ass.
The freedom and security he so freely gives me to explore my dreams and be me.
The way he supports me as a mother.
The way he opens up to me as a friend.
The honesty t…

Dan's family congregates to his parent's house for a reu…

We had a laid back morning today. Andy was feeling ill yesterday, so I decided to let him stay home.

I asked Zach if he wanted to stay home, but the kid has a party at school, and by God, he wasn't going to miss i…

So this morning Reggie and I are fully intertwined in our morning snuggle. The alarm goes off, he reaches up and hits the "knock that shit off" button, and we return to our power snuggle. Moments later...."Meeeeooooooow......pause.....MEeeeeoooowww" This goes on for several seconds. Reggie gets up to hunt for the kitty. This was the first night that we didn't "box" her for the night, but let her run amok to find a place to hunker down for the night. She has a really super comfy basket to sleep i…
