In case you have been living under a rock and you didn’t know, our 2 year old son Darby is a clown. Seriously. Such a clown. He does things for the sole purpose of getting a laugh, and when he does, he repeats that behaviour. Behold “Darby Eyes” This look has had a lot of…

As soon as you announce pregnancy, or people rudely assume it (sometimes incorrectly thanks very much), all of a sudden you’re fair game for comments, judgement and the occasional compliment. All I…

Both were very excited about their respective new adventures, and drop off went very well for both of them. Chance had a little tear as I was getting ready to leave but he took some…

Continue reading →Life! Sometimes it’s just too amazing for words and other times, like this morning, there are no words. More about that later. So Darby turned 2 today. Hard to believe yes? 2 years ago: And today: What a kid. Seriously. This guy makes us laugh every day. And even though I’m convinced that he has…

I want Hubs to come home right now so I can plant a huge kiss on his face and give him the biggest cuddle. I can’t wait to pick Chanbe and Quindy up from school/kindy and look…
