Since I suddenly feel as thougth Delaney and Cooper are growing up at ‘light-speed’, I feel compelled to share another sweet moment. Jeff and I took them to see Horton Hears a Who tonight. At 3 and 1, they sat through (almost) the entire movie. Coop was fascinated by the whole production…from the popcorn he couldn’t stop eating to the… View Post
I’m not sure when it happened…
One day I was changing Delaney’s diaper and rocking her to sleep, and the VERY next day, she was dressing herself, setting the dinner table and reading books to her little brother.

But I have to laugh, because tonight, she proved she wants me back off… View Post
