it’s become more than a normal worry. i had a feeling it would. i can see an obsessive compulsion a mile away. even if it is coming from a 5 year old. it all began with a question that she asked chad. “are strangers real?” he couldn’t lie to her and tell her no. so […]
wow! it’s been busy round these parts. this last week has been completely nutso. there’s been lots of baseball, soccer, field trips, field days, birthday parties, baptism parties, movies, crawfish boils, and celebration/thank you lunches. thankfully…my mother in law came to our rescue!! she is here from iowa (and has been for the last week) so […]
