Everynight, I make a little pile of pacifiers in Red's crib. As the night goes along, he loses one in sleep, moves around and reaches for his pile until he finds another one. The pile starts out at least 4 deep. And then ends like this: It gets to the point at the end of the … [Read more...]

The Grassy Knoll
We're trying to get Red used to the grass outside. Taking his shoes and socks off and letting his wriggle around in the grass is pretty funny. He's loved being outside since he was born, as many babies do. Our trips outside will quiet the noisiest fussing, silence the … [Read more...]

Hubs goes on a trip!
When the cat's away, the mice will play. But what happens when the mice go away? The cat decides to take a nap and not clean the house. Or dust (well, I never dust, so there's that). The men folk have a little place in south Georgia they visit called "the huntin' camp". No … [Read more...]
