Lucky Man
There once was a man from Kentucky,
Who considered himself quite lucky,
Roof with floor underneath,
A wife with twelve teeth,
And a bookie who’s ever so plucky.

Tick Tock
So precise was dear Idabelle Fox,
She had experts come check all her clocks,

One Year Ago Today

He hasn’t changed.
Something New
The boys are off to school and I haven’t left the house. My neighbor has a kindergartner at the same school as our little men, so we have begun carpooling today. Both of our kindergartners are showing enough independence to walk into class on their ow…
Experimenting
Not sure what’s in the air but I’m into the baking lately.
