Our sweet man, How do we catch up? You are two and a half years old now. You’ve dug in to the Terrible Twos lately in that you Just Cannot Handle It if your will is defied sometimes. You get really, really upset if we try to make you use the potty and you’re not in the mood or if we try to make you come inside or get in the car if you’re not…

A little Saturday afternoon Egg huntin’
We had our first proper egg hunt last weekend at Mom and Dad’s. Evan had a bunch of eggs — including some cruel camouflage ones! — and threw them out in the yard and Levi and Holden went for them. Levi had done an egg hunt before so he kind of had the idea but Holden wasn’t sure of the point until a few eggs in. He found an egg with a dollar in it…

The second time, it was funny and I thought it was a cute repeat. The third time, I realized this kid is yanking my chain. He will fart audibly, and then get super wide-eyed and look at me and…

We have a 2-year-old!
This post is a month overdue, but that is what happens when you have a toddler. Madness and time travel. On Nov. 5, Holden turned two. His language skills are taking off like a weird little rocket, just zooming up and up each day. And even though half the time we are totally bewildered by what he is trying very emphatically to tell us, the other half of the time he’s being so suddenly crystal…

Surely this photo alone exonerates me from my eternally square existence.
