Every single day, I stress myself out about Korben’s nursing. Obviously, I don’t have to worry. He’s only 5 weeks old – look at those chubby legs! the double chin! I’m posting this here to remind myself to SERIOUSLY? Chill. Out. So what that he [out of the blue] only wants [...]

I know I’m starting late, and I know I might not succeed, but I have decided to do a variation of project 365 geared toward capturing pictures of Korben. I figure it will ensure that we have plenty of pictures of our third-born. James and Lowell will be in them, too, and perhaps even myself [...]

They’re usually so rough with him; wanting to tackle him like they tackle each other.  I’m sure that eventually, there will be much tackling and rough-housing but for now, the tenderness is so rare that I had to take some pictures.

Here are a few pictures from tonight. It’s his first paci-night of his little life. We have been rather undecided about whether or not to start the habit that we know takes a lot for the little people to kick. James blessed us by giving up his pacifier extraordinarily easy before he turned 2 years [...]

Today, I drove all of us (minus David) to my hometown to visit my dentist.  I have had a toothache for a few days now.  It wasn’t much, probably just some food crammed up by my gums, but I also had a spot on my molar that needed to be smoothed over, so I got [...]
