Half and Whole
Today is JBelle’s “half” birthday. When I was a kid we celebrated the halfway mark by going out to dinner. I think this was my mom’s idea. Mine and Emily’s birthday are both in January, so it was a nice way to break up the year and give us something to look forward to.
I liked [...]

Election Day Nostalgia
The GMan’s birthday* was this past Sunday. But four years ago, Election Day was his birthday. Our baby boy was born at ~7:45am on Nov. 2, 2004. We had already voted because this was scheduled c-section and we knew we’d be otherwise occupied that day! In some ways, to me, today feels more like his [...]
