Jenson update: 22 months
We had a big month in July. Summer and Max flew to Columbus and stayed with us for a few days, our parents came for the weekend (and the big car show), and then we drove up to my parents to visit everyone else (and …

Jenson
Jenson’s first wasp sting(s)
Earlier this month when Lo was camping for the weekend, Braxton and his mom Rachel came to visit us. Rachel and I were catching up and the boys were having a great time in the backyard playing in the water, on the slide, and with …
Superman versus Batman
Max was coming to Ohio to visit, so I when I saw these superman/batman shirts at Target, I had to get them. I love how it looks like they are collaborating on some sort of secret superhero project. Really, they were probably competing for the …
Practicing his temper
As I’ve mentioned, Jenson is all about daddy right now. He gets tired of being with me all day long, so when Lo gets home, he doesn’t want to leave his side (“daddy, daddy, daddy” anytime Lo walks out of the room). Lately, he’s been …
Jenson update: 21 months

I quit my job, we packed up our house, and moved! We are still getting adjusted to the house and me being home with Jenson all day. It’s amazing, but it turns out, I don’t get much done during the day with him. I’m not …
Daddy’s Helper
Jenson has gotten used to being with me all of the time and he isn’t as clingy with Lo anymore, but he’s still a daddy’s boy most of the time. He doesn’t cry for him that often anymore – usually just when I’ve told him …
Library Storytime
I started looking up to see what kinds of activities we can get into in our new area. Now that I have “days”, I feel like I can do stuff with him – and that it’ll be good for both of us to get out. …
