The boys are back in West Palm and, of course, I miss them. Luckily, our weekend together was memorable. The boys arrived late Friday afternoon, and we just hung out and had dinner together. I gave Jacob and Joshua teddy bears that I made at Build-A-Bear with message from me (expect a separate post on [...]

We usually try to get out to the fair when it’s in town each year. I can’t say it’s a favorite outing of ours, but it generally gives us an excuse to go out. Every year we go, and after an hour or two, we’re sort of ready to leave. There’s usually one or two [...]
