A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
Last night on our way home from a very busy day I told Kris that with a week like we have in front of us I need to be absolutely firm about making lists and sticking to them. It is the only way I know of to be efficient with my time. So far this mornin…
Not a lot of sleep in between. I slept fast and hard, but not hard enough to keep baby brother from waking me up at about 4:30. I don’t remember Owen ever doing this to me but this kid is violent. He’s punching, kicking, banging his head, wiggling his…

Owen has learned the art of taking his clothes off. I’ve been encouraging him to put his shorts on by himself and he’s been getting his arms in and out of sleeves but I haven’t pushed real hard on the dressing thing for this very reason. I think he loo…
Kris and I are both still waking up. Why couldn’t it be Friday? We both had the same thought…is it only Tuesday? I guess we both just had long days yesterday. I felt like I didn’t accomplish nearly what I wanted to yesterday in that I didn’t do any…
