Lowe, apparently tired of being told he can’t climb up the stairs and out the door, has taken a new tact. Now when he is ready to go out he walks over to the hook on the wall, grabs my hat, brings it over to me and tries to put … Read More
(Blurry) Insight
Here is a blurry insight into a typical moment in our day. First you’ve got the kids creating havoc with each other for no particular reason, then in the midst of that you have Ali announcing, while in the middle of cooking dinner for them, “We’re out of propane.” Dinner … Read More
