Little Man received Barnyard Bowling from some friends. We have had so much fun bowling as a family.

Looking Back
You know that list that you have of things that you want to ask God? Mine is pretty long actually. But one of the questions that I have is "why was Bubs my first born?" The reason why I wonder this is because there are so many things that I would have done differently if I would have known. I know that I have high expectations for our children, ...

Yelling and stomping? Also worth testing. He just wanted to make sure that our boundaries were firm and that he could trust me to be consistent. But Peanut isn’t the ...
