The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we had our nephews baptism to attend.  The timing was going to be wonky for Jenson’s nap, so we elected to skip mass in favor of making the drive later, so that Jenson would sleep on the way for an early

New year, new changes?

We rang in our new year with a really sick baby, so things can only go up from there! I’m pretty excited about this year. Every year for the past 5 years we seem to have some sort of major change: getting married, buying a
