It is soccer season. This year Kailan decided to do soccer instead of football or swimming. We actually talked him out of football. It requires having at least some sort of pain tolerance. As he has little to none, we […]
Today Brian turns the big 4-0. Yes. How did that happen??? We used to be so young. I know he is SUPER excited. At least he got to spend the last few days of his 30’s whooooopin’ it up in […]
