This Saturday, I drove down to Springs to spend the day with Kristy. Greg was kind enough to stay home with Adrianna, who is still quite sick. Our girls’ day was so much fun....

Adrianna is starting to learn manners, or at least the words that go along with good manners. Me: Adrianna, would you like some more juice? Adrianna: Es, Ees. (Yes, Please) Me (after refilling the...

Poor Adrianna is feeling a bit under the weather. She has a fever, an awful phlemy cough, and horrid congestion. It is so bad that she is quite hoarse and so she cannot scream,...

Adrianna’s vocabulary continues to grow more and more each week. One of her new favorite words is “knee.” She loves to say knee while pointing to her knee. About a week or so ago,...

…that Daylight Savings Time, in the “fall back” mode, means that you get to sleep in for an extra hour? And poor Greggor, we both forgot to set the clocks back last night so...
