When I was 3 1/2 (the age my son is now), my mom passed away from cancer. My dad was 28 years old and not only lost his wife, but was now a single parent to a toddler and a 10-month-old baby. I have the unique experience of being a woman who was raised by… Continue reading Thank you, Dad.
This morning we slept in. Spencer woke up crying around midnight last night and I ended up just falling asleep on his bed with him... usually we get up by 7 every day, but today we slept until close to 9 and it was fantastic.

Our best friends came over with their baby who… Continue reading Weekend recap.

We spent a lot of time together, obviously, but it wasn't the same as sharing a life and home together. We both had roommates in college, so we had… Continue reading Learning to love differences.
I feel like tonight is as good a night as any for a husband/father appreciation post. Moms get a lot of credit (well-deserved, of course!) but I believe good dads should as well.
