So Drew FINALLY has enough hair to comb. Yes, he is two but for whatever reason our babies just don’t get much hair before they turn three. So last week I started to come over his hair to the side and Jacob said, “Mom, Drew looks like a dork.” I guess I really am getting …

Which one?
A common phrase that can be heard around our house lately is “Which one do you like?” Seth is completely exhausted when it comes to making home decorating decisions. The truth is, he doesn’t really care enough to pick it out but picky enough to have some type of opinion and I am picky enough …
Packing has begun
