JR started his day by clipping the edge of one of our dining room chairs. A lovely purple line immediately took shape on his forehead.
Then he went to the doctor where he got a finger stick (and a Band-Aid which bothered him more than the stick), and a few shots.
Later, [...]
Rain jackets, rain boots, and umbrellas should always be brightly colored.
If you’re going to buy Oreos, you might as well go for Double Stuff… because who are we kidding?
Children should only wear shoes when absolutely necessary.
Tylenol is useless.
There’s nothing wrong with not raking your leaves.
“Tell us how you really feel” [...]
Cake! Cake! Cake!
What happened to my shirt? No matter, seriously, let’s see the cake.
CAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.
Um. I’m not sure about this. Hmmm…
Jk, guys, this is great.
NOM NOM SMACK [...]
JR,
What? How did this happen? How is it possible that an entire year ago today you joined our family?
I can’t understand how you’ve already gone from this:
To this:
And on to this:
But alas, here we are. This evening we’ll [...]
Dear dogs (you a-holes),
I know it’s raining. I’ve been lugging a 23+ pound child in and out of the rain all day. I am aware.
I am also aware of the fact that perhaps squidgy grass does not feel exactly pleasant on your dainty feet, so maybe going outside isn’t so [...]

This past Thursday I got home from work at around 3:30 to find a delightfully healthy boy toddling around the front yard with his lovely babysitter/our lovely friend. JR was all smiles and laughs, bright eyed and on the move.
About 90 minutes later his nose was a river of snot [...]
JR was born right before Thanksgiving, and he technically celebrated his first Christmas last year. But come on, he was basically a blob then, so other then a few festive pictures, we deemed the holiday season kind of a wash and moved on.
Now that he’s a smiling, babbling (LORD [...]
I’ve mentioned Momversation here before, but let me just tell you that I feel the same anticipation for these that others feel for new episodes of Mad Men or So You Think You Can Dance? I love it so.
Anyway, as you may remember, I’ve struggled with depression in the [...]
The bigger JR gets, and as he becomes a bit of a “bruiser” as they say, he is reminding us more and more of, well, Tommy Boy.
Pictures like this kind of seal the deal:
“Lots of people go to college for seven years.”
(Also: What up, drooly?)
[...]Remember when I used to post every day? Sometimes even twice a day? Well, now it seems that I’m struggling to write even once a week. I have no excuse other than my life, my kid, and way to much watching of Gilmore girls.
I don’t know what my deal is. [...]
Two. Eight. Twenty-eight. I am twenty-eight today. Well, as of 2:41pm at least.
I fully understand that this isn’t old, but JEEZ.
I know a lot of people use their birthday as a time to wax poetic about what else they want to do with their lives and what not. I’m not [...]
