Happy Election Day! I hope you all got out and voted for your candidate of choice. If you live in the northern U.S., welcome to Daylight Savings and short days and long nights. It is now officially quite dark before I get dinner on the table–I am hoping to either get a photo box for…

August 3, 2008 By Laura 3 Comments

I am sure some of you are wondering how we are all sleeping around here. Before I get the whine on, let me just say I have wonderful children who are improving a lot. Alex is basically sleeping through the night in her room every night (albeit on the floor). Sammy has slept through the…
