This Little Boy.

This Little Boy.

February 23, 2012

Three years ago, this boy made me a mom. He made this man a daddy. And over the past three years, he’s made us the luckiest parents alive. Happy Birthday to my sweet Ronan.  You bring smiles to every day.  I love you!

Halloween.

Halloween.

November 16, 2011

No, YOU didn’t write a post about Halloween until 16 days after the actual event. *side eye* So, whatever.  We had costumes that were passed on from friends.  Ronan had the choice of elephant and Buzz Lightyear.  Ruby was going to be either a Ladybug or a unicorn. Fastforward to moment of dressing.  I had decided on Ladybug for Ruby,… Read More

Another Evaluation.

November 10, 2011

Thank You!

October 7, 2011

Ronan was given a gift this week by a very much loved family friend.  As soon as he saw them, he couldn’t wait to take them out for a spin! Thanks, Barb!  We had a ton of fun!

Gluten What?

June 8, 2011

Wow.  How to dive into a topic like this one. Some of you, or maybe many of you, know that we have taken Ronan wheat/gluten and dairy free. TONS of you ask “Why?” That’s a hard question to give a definitive answer to. Ronan is a smart, sweet boy.  He is loving, and energetic and enthusiastic.  But sometimes, he’s terribly terrible.  He… Read More
